Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Essential (hereditary) hypertension is a common, though complex, trait with substantial heritability, but a still-obscure mode of inheritance. In this disorder with relatively late onset, knowledge of phenotypes with earlier penetrance would aid genetic analyses, as well as assessment of risk. OBJECTIVE: Because alpha2-adrenergic receptor alterations are among the most heritable in experimental...
