Hypertension affects approximately 20 to 30% of individuals in industrialized countries, and is commonly believed to develop on the basis of both genetic and environmental factors. The identification of genes susceptible to the most frequent form of hypertension, commonly referred to as "essential" hypertension, is hampered by the fact that blood pressure is a poorly defined phenotype that is modulated by...
