Although not holding Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, our results provided suggestive evidence,, that the minor alleles of two variants, rs2282477-C within SLC3A2/4F2hc- and rs3783436-C within SC7A8/LAT2, were nominally associated with lower odds of hypertension in presence of CKD. Here, SLC3A2 is linked to chronic kidney disease.
