Shared genetic loci connect cardiovascular disease with blood pressure and lipid traits in East Asian populations by Peng Zhong, Chumeng Zhang, Qinfeng Wu, Xiao Chang, Xiao Chang

“…Using stratified LD score regression, we assessed tissue-specific heritability enrichment. Multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) was then employed to identify pleiotropic loci associated with multiple traits, with functional annotation and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data used to explore biological relevance.ResultsWe observed extensive genetic correlations among CVDs and between CVDs and cardiometabolic traits, with HF showing the strongest connections to both MI and arrhythmia. …”
