Essential hypertension (EH) is thought to be a multifactorial disease. In Japan, there are more than 20 million cases of EH, which accounts for 80 to 90% of hypertension cases in Japan. It is very difficult to isolate the susceptibility genes of EH in familial linkage analysis such as sib-pair analysis and association studies such as case-control studies of candidate genes. Over the past few years, genome-wide...
