Association of blood pressure with cognitive function at midlife: a Mendelian randomization study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:One of the major goals of genomic medicine is the identification of causal genomic variants in a patient and their relation to the observed clinical phenotypes. Prioritizing the genomic variants by considering only the genotype information usually identifies a few hundred potential variants. Narrowing it dow...
