These loci identified by these 18 SNPs consisted of several previously reported genes including FGF5, ATP2B1, MTHFR, CASZ1, CYP11B2, CYP17A1, ADRB1, and HECTD48, 9, 11, as well as seven new genes (L3MBTL4, KIRREL, C9orf98, GALNT18, LOC729251, NLRP1 and TCEANC) that may be associated with hypertension. Here, FGF5 is linked to hypertensive disorder.
