Background: White-coat effect (WCE) confounds diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. The prevalence of white-coat hypertension is higher in Europe and Asia compared to other continents suggesting that genetic factors could play a role.Methods: To study genetic variation affecting WCE, we conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study involving 1343 Finnish subjects. For the discovery stage, we used Genetics of Drug Responsiveness in Essential Hypertension (GENRES) cohort (n=206), providing the mean WCE values from up to four separate office/ambulatory recordings conducted on placebo.
