A common genetic factor underlies hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders.

BMC cardiovascular disorders - 1 Nov 2004

Williams Frances M K, Cherkas Lynn F, Spector Tim D, MacGregor Alex J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Certain conditions characterised by blood vessel occlusion or vascular spasm have been found to cluster together in epidemiological studies. However the biological causes for these associations remain controversial. This study used a classical twin design to examine whether these conditions are linked through shared environmental exposures or by a common underlying genetic propensity to vasospasm....
