Overall study scheme. We carried out a genome-wide scan for BP-associated (SBP and DBP) SNPs that included interaction terms between SNPs and the anthropometric measures BMI, height, weight, and WHR. After the three-stage analysis (discovery, replication 1, replication 2), we identified a SNP that was strongly associated with SBP by a linear regression model that incorporated interaction between SNPs and BMI.
