aHypertension was defined as average systolic BP of ≥150 mmHg, an average diastolic BP ≥95 mmHg, or current treatment for hypertension with antihypertensive medication. Control subjects had systolic BP <120 mmHg and diastolic BP <80 mmHg.

The major allele was always referred to as allele 1 and the minor allele as allele 2.

b OR estimated by logistic regression analysis, adjusted for Gender, age, smoking, drinking, BMI, TC, TG, Cr, HDL_C and Glu.

Hypertension was defined as average systolic BP of ≥150 mmHg, an average diastolic BP ≥95 mmHg, or current treatment for hypertension with antihypertensive medication. Control subjects had systolic BP <120 mmHg and diastolic BP <80 mmHg.

aGender, age, smoking, drinking, BMI, TC, TG, Cr, HDL_C and Glu were adjusted.

b Hap2 (CAGC) was chosen to be the baseline haplotype.
