Abstract
The techniques of modern molecular genetics are shedding new light on hypertension and its sequelae. This article discusses techniques which have identified genes associated with hypertension and have pointed the way toward identifying the full cohort of genes operative in all forms of human hypertension. These techniques have expanded understanding of the pathophysiology of hypertension as well as its prevention.
