a trend toward significanceP =0.08
Replication We tested the association between the rs6078905 SNP and HCTZ BP response in PEAR blacks and we found a trend toward significance with DBP response ( P =0.08) and SBP response ( P =0.17; Figure 2 ).

In blacks, because of the differences in recombination rates and linkage disequilibrium patterns between blacks and whites, SNPs identified in whites may not be significant in blacks; however, other SNPs in the region may show significant association with the phenotype.
