Molecular genetics of essential hypertension: recent results and emerging strategies.

Abstract excerpt

Efforts to identify hypertension-predisposition genetic loci have focused largely on candidate gene strategies, in which specific candidates have been tested for linkage and association with blood pressure or the diagnosis of hypertension. A variety of candidate genes have been investigated, including loci involving the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sodium epithelial channel, catecholaminergic/adrenergic...
