Age, sex and body mass index (BMI) were included as covariant in all genetic models. Findings with P < 0.05 are indicated in bold. The p-values which satisfied the Bonferroni-corrected significance level regarding each gene are indicated in bold and underlined. Abbreviations: SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; Chr, chromosome; MAF, minor allele frequency; HTN, hypertension; β, regression coefficient; s.e, standard error; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
