title: Genome-Wide Association Study Meta-Analysis of Long-Term Average Blood Pressure in East Asians.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Genome-wide single marker and gene-based meta-analyses of long-term average (LTA) blood pressure (BP) phenotypes may reveal novel findings for BP.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We conducted genome-wide analysis among 18 422 East Asian participants (stage 1) followed by replication study of ≤46 629 participants of European ancestry (stage 2). Significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms and genes were determined by aP<5.0×10-8and 2.5×10-6, respectively, in joint analyses of stage-1 and stage-2 data. We identified 1 novelARL3variant, rs4919669 at 10q24.32, influencing LTA systolic BP (stage-1P=5.03×10-8, stage-2P=8.64×10-3, jointP=2.63×10-8) and mean arterial pressure (stage-1P=3.59×10-9, stage-2P=2.35×10-2, jointP=2.64×10-8). Three previously reported BP loci (WBP1L,NT5C2, andATP2B1) were also identified for all BP phenotypes. Gene-based analysis provided the first robust evidence for association ofKCNJ11with LTA systolic BP (stage-1P=8.55×10-6, stage-2P=1.62×10-5, jointP=3.28×10-9) and mean arterial pressure (stage-1P=9.19×10-7, stage-2P=9.69×10-5, jointP=2.15×10-9) phenotypes. Fourteen genes (TMEM180,ACTR1A,SUFU,ARL3,SFXN2,WBP1L,CYP17A1,C10orf32,C10orf32-ASMT,AS3MT,CNNM2, andNT5C2at 10q24.32;ATP2B1at 12q21.33; andNCR3LG1at 11p15.1) implicated by previous genome-wide association study meta-analyses were also identified. Among the loci identified by the previous genome-wide association study meta-analysis of LTA BP, we transethnically replicated associations of theKCNK3marker rs1275988 at 2p23.3 with LTA systolic BP and mean arterial pressure phenotypes (P=1.27×10-4and 3.30×10-4, respectively).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We identified 1 novel variant and 1 novel gene and present the first direct evidence of relevance of theKCNK3locus for LTA BP among East Asians.
