ABSTRACT Genetic predisposition and alcohol consumption are risk factors for increased blood pressure (BP), but their interactions influencing BP remain understudied. We conducted population-specific and cross-population meta-analyses of genome-wide gene-alcohol (GxAlc) interactions affecting BP in >1.1M individuals from multiple populations. We identified…
