Polymorphisms of candidate genes in essential hypertension.

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 candidate genes that may be important in determining the genetic component of hypertension. These included the genes for...
