International Consortium for Blood Pressure Genome-Wide Association Studies

The International Consortium for Blood Pressure Genome-Wide Association Studies (ICBP-GWAS) is a global collaboration that studies the genetic factors influencing blood pressure. By analyzing DNA data from many people worldwide, researchers aim to identify specific genetic variants linked to high or low blood pressure. Understanding these genetic factors helps improve knowledge about hypertension, its risks, and potential personalized treatments. The consortium combines data from multiple studies to increase accuracy and discovery, ultimately contributing to better prevention and management of blood pressure-related health issues on a broad scale.
