CASQ2 and hypertensive disorder: Results: The reported association between rs1801253 in β1-adrenergic receptor (ADRB1) and hypertension was successfully replicated, and we additionally found the blood pressure-lowering G allele of this variant was associated with a delayed onset of hypertension and a decreased level of apolipoprotein A. The association of rs4484922 in calsequestrin 2 (CASQ2) with atrial fibrillation/flutter was identified, and this variant also displayed nominal evidence of association with QRS duration and carotid intima-medial thickness.
