“…Four studies had participants genotyped for both G-350A and C825T variants, enabling haplotypic analyses that encompassed 7,292 participants (2,738 hypertensives and DBP diastolic blood pressure, SBP systolic blood pressure, OR odds ratio, D expected linear increment in the trait per additional copy of the riskallele, s 2 estimated between-study variance, P(Q) P value for the Cochran's Q test 4,554 normotensives; 3,550 overweight and 3,742 lean) [23,26,28,30]. While a distinct pattern of LD among populations of different ancestries is observed, we found evidence for a significant LD and high to moderate D 0 scores between the G-350A variant and the C825T polymorphism (P \ 0.01 for all studies, Supplementary Table S7).…”
