Abstract
High Blood Pressure (HBP) is a leading cause of death in the United States. The attributed mortality rate of HBP remains at a high level in recent years. Cigarette smoking is a major preventable cause of death in U.S. Our study aims to understand etiology of HBP, including genetic susceptibility of high systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the Caucasian population as well as cigarette smoking modification effect on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and blood pressure.Statistical tests were used to investigate difference between hypertensive and normotensive study sample. Marginal linear mixed regression model were conducted to discover association between main effect, SNP-smoke interaction effect and blood pressure trait using a genome-wide approach.None of SNPs were detected significantly associated with SBP from both additive and genotypic model. Eight SNPs were identified associated with DBP significantly (FDR Q value < 0.05 with genomic control applied). Seven SNP-smoking interactions were found to be significantly associated with SBP from the additive interaction model and three such significant associations were uncovered from genotypic model. No smoking modification effect associated with DBP. In conclusion, current smoking status could modify the magnitude of SNP-SBP associations, whereas no evidence supported the similar modify of SNP-DBP associations.
