Longitudinal analysis with a generalized estimating equation and with adjustment for age, gender, body mass index and smoking status revealed that rs2116519 of family with sequence similarity 78, member B (FAM78B; P=0.0266), rs6929846 of butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A1 (BTN2A1; P=0.0013), rs146021107 of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1; P=0.0031) and rs1671021 of lethal giant larvae homolog 2 (Drosophila) (LLGL2; P=0.0372) were significantly (P<0.05) associated with the prevalence of hypertension.
Multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates revealed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with hypertension in subject panel A (P = 2.6 × 10(-6); odds ratio, 1.69) and in subject panel B (P = 0.0284; odds ratio, 1.24), with the T allele representing a risk factor for hypertension.
Multivariable logistic regression analyses with adjustment for covariates revealed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with MI in individuals with (P=0.0001; odds ratio, 1.49) or without (P=1.6x10-7; odds ratio, 2.32) hypertension</span>; in individuals with (P=0.0002; odds ratio, 1.65) or without (P=8.1x10-7; odds ratio, 1.76) DM; and in individuals without CKD (P=6.0x10-11; odds ratio, 2.03), but not in those with CKD.
