BACKGROUND: Although genetic epidemiologic studies have suggested that several genetic variants increase the risk for hypertension, the genes that underlie genetic susceptibility to this condition remain to be identified definitively. We have now performed a large-scale association study to identify gene polymorphisms for reliable assessment of the genetic component of hypertension. METHODS: The study population...
