A large number of these genes have been linked in past TWAS to body height (ABTB3, ADAM17, ANGPT1, DSP, HDGFL3, KIFBP, LASP1NB, NKD1, PLVAP, TMEM38A, ZNF417, ZNF44), weight and BMI (ABTB3, ADAM17, ANGPT1, C12orf76, HDGFL3, KIFBP, NOG, PLVAP, SLC4A10), blood pressure and hypertension (C12orf76, CTTNBP2NL, SLC16A1, SLC4A10, TRIM39), lung functioning (DSP, LASP1NB) and to chronological age (ADAM17, CDKN2B, METTL9). Here, NKD1 is linked to hypertensive disorder.
