RECENT PROGRESS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS IN GENETICS OF HYPERTENSION
The use of a genetic approach to investigate the causes of hypertension has grown in importance, and this new method is expected to detect targets in the treatment of hypertension.Hypertension Research features a special Review Series and Web Focus on the Recent Progress and Future Prospects in Genetics of Hypertension, which provides a series of review articles and carefully selected papers dealing with the study of genetic factors influencing blood pressure.
