New genetic concepts in hypertensive cardiovascular disease.

Abstract excerpt

Hypertension is a complex quantitative trait under polygenic control. The identification of genes responsible for high blood pressure is of major importance, because it provides a mechanistic classification of the common phenotype and guide therapy tailored to the underlying primary abnormality. Experimental studies have identified several quantitative trait loci for blood pressure and other cardiovascular...
