Fig. 1

Analysis models. The graphical representations of analysis models with latent variable for longitudinal blood pressures are shown for: a an autoregressive model and b a latent growth curve model. Variables rSBP and rDBP are the main trait values corrected for the use of hypertension medication. LBP is a latent variable, and aSNP is a SNP tested. Nodes marked with: “p” are polygenic effects, and “e” are random effects. I is the intercept and S is the slope. Note that the coefficient to test the SNP effect on blood pressure traits is colored in red
