Abstract excerpt
Essential hypertension is one of the most common disorders that underpin significant morbidity and mortality; however, underlying mechanisms remain elusive that either dictate the actions of individual quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or engineer the overall genetic architecture from them. Recent experimental evidence has unveiled that the genetic architecture determining blood pressure (BP) is assembled from...
