Recently, another study also showed rs6749447 within the STK39 was associated with blood pressure responses. gene for hypertension, and to examine the interaction of genetic factors and non-genetic risk factors in the Chinese population. Results indicated that none of these SNPs was associated with hypertension in the Chinese population. Taken together, the present study found no evidence that STK39 was associated with hypertension Instead, non-genetic risk factors such as BMI have an important role in Chinese hypertensive subjects, Keywords: genome-wide association study; serine/threonine kinase 39; polymorphism; interaction different SNPs and non-genetic risk factors for hypertension.
