The study found that carriers of the A-allele in SNP rs239345 (SCNN1B) had significantly higher sodium intake and diastolic blood pressure compared to those with the TT genotype. Additionally, the TT genotype of SNP rs224534 (TRPV1) was associated with lower sodium intake than the CC genotype. The study concludes that genetic variations may relate to salt intake and could be associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease risk, though limitations include a small sample size, potential unmeasured confounders, and the use of a single 24-hour urine collection.
