Abstract excerpt
1. Family and population studies have reported that blood pressure has a heritability of 30-50%, but simple genetic models do not readily explain the patterns of inheritance of hypertension. 2. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms were used to study allele frequencies of a selection of candi...
