摘要
More and more, genetic research is being used to investigate the problem of hypertension, especially as hypertension appears to be a population-wide phenomenon. This article discusses such key concepts as phenotypic variation within the hypertensive subpopulation, the importance of a family history for hypertension in predicting hypertension, the development of hypertension in youth, environmental considerations (nature v nurture), and gene linkage.
