Novel Metabolites Genetically Linked to Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure: Evidence from mGWAS in Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to identify genetically influenced metabolites (GIMs) associated with SSBP and elucidate their regulatory pathways through metabolome genome-wide association studies (mGWASs). Untargeted metabolomics and genome-wide genotyping were performed on 54 participants from the Systematic Epidemiological Study of Salt Sensitivity (EpiSS). The mGWAS was conducted on 970 plasma metabolites, and their potential biological mechanisms were explored. The multivariable logistic regression model and mendelian randomization (MR) were employed to investigate the association and causal relationship between GIMs and SSBP. Metabolomic analysis was performed on 100 subjects in the replication analysis to validate the GIMs identified in the discovery set and their causal association with SSBP. The
