PDX1 and hypertensive disorder: In this study, we observed that the SNPs of PDX1, LLGL2 and FAM78B were also associated with the prevalence of hypertension, as well as with systolic BP among all individuals and individuals not taking any anti-hypertensive medication (PDX1), with diastolic and mean BP among individuals without anti-hypertensive medication (LLGL2), or with diastolic BP among individuals without anti-hypertensive medication (FAM78B).
