To identify novel BP loci, we performed multi-ancestry meta-analyses accounting for gene-educational attainment interactions using two variables, "Some College" (yes/no) and "Graduated College" (yes/no). Interactions were evaluated using both a 1 degree of freedom (DF) interaction term and a 2DF joint test of genetic and interaction effects. Analyses were performed for systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure. We pursued genome-wide interrogation in Stage 1 studies (N = 117 438) and follow-up on promising variants in Stage 2 studies (N = 293 787) in five ancestry groups. Through combined meta-analyses of Stages 1 and 2, we identified 84 known and 18 novel BP loci at genome-wide significance level (P < 5 × 10-8). Two novel loci were identified based on the 1DF test of interaction with educational attainment, while the remaining 16 loci were identified through the 2DF joint test of genetic and interaction effects. Ten novel loci were identified in individuals of African ancestry. Several novel loci show strong biological plausibility since they involve physiologic systems implicated in BP regulation. They include genes involved in the central nervous system-adrenal signaling axis (ZDHHC17, CADPS, PIK3C2G), vascular structure and function (GNB3, CDON), and renal function (HAS2 and HAS2-AS1, SLIT3). Collectively, these findings suggest a role of educational attainment or SES in further dissection of the genetic architecture of BP.Item A large-scale multi-ancestry genome-wide study accounting for smoking behavior identifies multiple significant loci for blood pressure(University of Chicago Press, 2018) Sung, Y.J.; Winkler, T.W.; de Las Fuentes, L.; Bentley, A.R.; Brown, M.R.; Kraja, A.T.; Schwander, K.; Ntalla, I.; Guo, X.; Franceschini, N.; Lu, Y.; Cheng, C.Y.; Sim, X.; Vojinovic, D.; Marten, J.; Musani, S.K.; Li, C.; Feitosa, M.F.; Kilpelainen, T.O.; Richard, M.A.; Noordam, R.; Aslibekyan, S.; Aschard, H.; Bartz, T.M.; Dorajoo, R.; Liu, Y.; Manning, A.K.; Rankinen, T.; Smith, A.V.; Tajuddin, S.M.; Tayo, B.O.; Warren, H.R.; Zhao, W.; Zhou, Y.; Matoba, N.; Sofer, T.; Alver, M.; Amini, M.; Boissel, M.; Chai, J.F.; Chen, X.; Divers, J.; Gandin, I.; Gao, C.; Giulianini, F.; Goel, A.; Harris, S.E.; Hatwig, F.P.; Horimoto, A.R.V.R.; Hsu, F.C.; Jackson, A.U.; Kahonen, M.; Kasturiratne, A.; Kuhnel, B.; Leander, K.; Lee, W.J.; Lin, K.H.; an Luan, J.; McKenzie, C.A.; Meian, H.; Nelson, C.P.; Rauramaa, R.; Schupf, N.; Scott, R.A.; Sheu, W.H.H.; Stancakova, A.; Takeuchi, F.; van der Most, P.J.; Varga, T.V.; Wang, H.; Wang, Y.; Ware, E.B.; Weiss, S.; Wen, W.; Yanek, L.R.; Zhang, W.; Zhao, J.H.; Afag, S.; Alfred, T.; Amin, N.; Arking, D.; Aung, T.; Barr, R.G.; Bielak, L.F.; Boerwincle, E.; Bottinger, E.P.; Braund, P.S.; Brody, J.A.; Broeckel, U.; Cabrera, C.P.; Cade, B.; Caizheng, Y.; Campbell, A.; Canouil, M.; Chakravarti, A.; CHARGE Neurology Working Group; Chauhan, G.; Christensen, K.; Cocca, M.; COGENT-Kidney Consortium; Collins, F.S.; Connel, J.M.; de Mutsert, R.; de Silva, H.J.; Debette, S.; Dorr, M.; Duan, Q.; Eaton, C.B.; Ehret, G.; Evangelou, E.; FAul, J.D.; Fisher, V.A.; Forouhi, N.G.; Franco, O.H.; Friedlander, Y.; Gao, H.; GIANT Consortium; Gigante, B.; Graff, M.; Gu, C.C.; Gu, D.; Gupta, P.; Hagenaars, S.P.; Harris, T.B.; He, J.; Heikkinen, S.; Heng, C.K.; Hirata, M.; Hofman., A.; Howard, B.V.; Hunt, S.; Irvin, M.R.; Jia, Y.; Joehanes, R.; Justice, A.E.; Katsuya, T.; Kaufman, J,; Kerrison, N.D.; Khor, C.C.; Koh, W.P.; Koistinen, H.A.; Komulainen, P.; Kooperberg, C.; Krieger, J.E.; Kubo, M.; Kuusisto, J.; Lanefeld, C.D.; Langenberg, C.; Launer, L.J.; Lehne, B.; Lewis, C.E.; Li, Y.; Lifelines Cohort Study; Lim, S.H.; Lin, S.; Liu, C.T.; Liu, J.; Liu, J.; Liu, K.; Liu, Y.; Loh, M.; Lohmann, K.K.; Long, J.; Louie, T.; Magi, R.; Mahajan, A.; Meitinger, T.; Metspalu, A.; Milani, L.; Momozawa, Y.; Morris, A.P.; Mosley, T.H.Jr.; Munson, P.; Murray, A.D.; Nalls, M.A.; Nasri, U.; Norris, J.M.; North, K.; Ogunniyi, A.; Padmanabhan, S.; Palmas, W.R.; Palmer, N.D.; Pankow, J.S.; Pedersen, N.L.; Peters, A.; Peyser, P.A.; Polasek, O.; Raitakari, O.T.; Renstrom, F.; Rice, T.K.; Ridker, P.M.; Robino, A.; Robinson, J.G.; Rose, L.M.; Rudan, I.; Salako, B.L.; Sandow, K.; Schmidt, C.O.; Schreiner, P.J.; Scott, W.R.; Seshadri, S.; Sever, P.; Sitlani, C.M.; Smith, J.A.; Snieder, H.; Starr, J.M.; Strauch, K.; Tang, H.; Taylor, K.D.; Teo, Y.Y.; Tham, Y.C.; Uitterlineden, A.G.; Waldenberger, M.; Wang, L.; Wang, Y.X.; Wei, W.B.; Williams, C.; Wilson, G.; Wojczynski, M.K.; Yao, J.; Yuan, J.M.; Zonderman, A.B.; Becker, D.M.; Boehnke, M.; Bowden, D.W.; Chambers, J.C.; Chen, Y.I.; de Faire, U.; Deary, I.J.; Esco, T.; Farrall, M.; Forrester, T.; Franks, P.W.; Freedman, B.I.; Froguel, P.; Gasparini, P.; Gieger, C.; Horta, B.L.; Hung, Y.J.; Jonas, J.B.; Kato, N.; Kooner, J.S.; Laakso, M.; Lehtimaki, T.; Liang, K.W.; Magnusson, P.K.E.; Newman, A.B.; Oldehinkel, A.J.; Pereira, A.C.; Redline, S.; Rettig, R.; Samani, N.J.; Scott, J.; Shu, X.O.; van der Harst, P.; Wagenknecht, L.E.; Wareham, N.J.; Watkins, H.; Weir, D.R.; Wickremasinghe, A.R.; Wu, T.; Zheng, W.; Kamatani, Y.; Laurie, C.C.; Bouchard, C.; Cooper, R.S.; Evans, M.K.; Gudnason, V.; Kardia, S.L.R.; Kritchevsky, S.B.; Levy, D.; O'Connell, J.R.; Psaty, B.M.; van Dam, R.M.; Sims, M.; Arnett, D.K.; Mook-Kanamori, D.O.; Kelly, T.N.; Fox, E.R.; Hayward, C.; Fornage, M.; Rotimi, C.N.; Province, M.A.; van Dujin, C.M.; Tai, E.S.; Wong, T.Y.; Loos, R.J.F.; Reiner, A.P.; Rotter, J.I.; Zhu, X.; Bierut, L.J.; Gauderman, W.J.; Caulfield, M.J.; Elliott, P.; Rice, K.; Munroe, P.B.; Morrison, A.C.; Cupples, L.A.; Rao., D.C.; Chasman, D.I.Genome-wide association analysis advanced understanding of blood pressure (BP), a major risk factor for vascular conditions such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Accounting for smoking behavior may help identify BP loci and extend our knowledge of its genetic architecture. We performed genome-wide association meta-analyses of systolic and diastolic BP incorporating gene-smoking interactions in 610,091 individuals. Stage 1 analysis examined ∼18.8 million SNPs and small insertion/deletion variants in 129,913 individuals from four ancestries (European, African, Asian, and Hispanic) with follow-up analysis of promising variants in 480,178 additional individuals from five ancestries. We identified 15 loci that were genome-wide significant (p < 5 × 10-8) in stage 1 and formally replicated in stage 2. A combined stage 1 and 2 meta-analysis identified 66 additional genome-wide significant loci (13, 35, and 18 loci in European, African, and trans-ancestry, respectively). A total of 56 known BP loci were also identified by our results (p < 5 × 10-8). Of the newly identified loci, ten showed significant interaction with smoking status, but none of them were replicated in stage 2. Several loci were identified in African ancestry, highlighting the importance of genetic studies in diverse populations. The identified loci show strong evidence for regulatory features and support shared pathophysiology with cardiometabolic and addiction traits. They also highlight a role in BP regulation for biological candidates such as modulators of vascular structure and function (CDKN1B, BCAR1-CFDP1, PXDN, EEA1), ciliopathies (SDCCAG8, RPGRIP1L), telomere maintenance (TNKS, PINX1, AKTIP), and central dopaminergic signaling (MSRA, EBF2).
