Mutations contributing to human blood pressure variation.

Abstract excerpt

In spite of a large body of physiological, biochemical, and recently genetic investigations, the causes of hypertension remain largely unknown. Recognition that hypertension is, in part, genetically determined has motivated studies to identify mutations conferring susceptibility. To date, mutations in at least 10 genes have been shown to alter blood pressure. The majority are rare mutations responsible for...
