Advances in the Genetics of Hypertension: The Effect of Rare Variants.

International journal of molecular sciences - 28 Feb 2018

Russo Alessia, Di Gaetano Cornelia, Cugliari Giovanni, Matullo Giuseppe

Abstract excerpt

Worldwide, hypertension still represents a serious health burden with nine million people dying as a consequence of hypertension-related complications. Essential hypertension is a complex trait supported by multifactorial genetic inheritance together with environmental factors. The heritability of blood pressure (BP) is estimated to be 30-50%. A great effort was made to find genetic variants affecting BP levels...
