SNX29 and Hypertension: In view of the previous link between SNX29 and hypertension, we ran further GWAS analyses stratified by hypertensive status and found that the association was driven by the hypertensive group (the effect was three times higher in hypertensives compared to non-hypertensives), thereby demonstrating that the association of SNX29 with cIMT might be mediated by the vascular remodelling caused by hypertension.
