Abstract
Thomas Hoffmann, Neil Risch and colleagues use longitudinal electronic health records from almost 100,000 individuals to conduct genome-wide association studies for blood pressure measurements. They find new significant loci that replicate in independent cohorts and can double the variance explained by using multiple blood pressure data points.9 Authors
