Rs8192678

rs8192678 encodes a SNP also known as Gly482Ser; the (A) allele encodes the Ser. Some reports have linked this SNP to risk for hypertension and systolic blood pressure (SBP).

However, a meta-analysis of 13,000+ individuals did not find any such association. However, gene-age interaction was apparent. For diastolic blood pressure (DBP), p(interaction)<0.0001; for systolic BP, p(interaction)=0.026. In younger individuals (<50yrs; n=2511) the rs8192678(A) allele was associated with higher DBP (p=4.2 x 10-12) and SBP (p=7.2 x 10-12), but no association was evident for individuals over 50yrs (n=5088).
