Development of a genetic risk score to predict the risk of hypertension in European adolescents from the HELENA study
IntroductionFrom genome wide association study (GWAS) a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have previously been associated with blood pressure (BP) levels.A combination of SNPs, forming a genetic risk score (GRS) could be considered as a useful genetic tool to identify individuals at risk of developing hypertension from early st
