Role and identification of the genes involved in human hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

Variance of blood pressure in the normal population is composed of environmental influences and the cumulative effects of gene structure polymorphisms. Essential hypertension results from the combined influence of these components, whose respective importance can vary considerably from individual to individual. In the rare forms of hypertension due to a single gene abnormality, the environmental component is...
