Abstract excerpt
It is likely that a number of independent heritable traits, each encoded by a singular gene, contribute to pathologic elevations in blood pressure in humans. Genetic polymorphisms of individual genes may result in intermediate phenotypes which, by themselves, do not raise blood pressure, but, cou...
