Genetic basis of polygenic hypertension
31 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Essential hypertension is a common disorder that leads to significant morbidity and mortality; however, the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. Recent animal model studies have uncovered a complex genetic architecture of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for blood pressure (BP), intricate QTL-QTL interactions and powerful genome regulations that underlie polygenic hypertension. BP, a quantitative trait...
