Summary of Known Genetic and Epigenetic Modification Contributed to Hypertension
Int J Hypertens. 2023 May 9;2023:5872362. doi: 10.1155/2023/5872362. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTHypertension is a multifactorial disease due to a complex interaction among genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Characterized by raised blood pressure (BP), it is responsible for more than 7 million deaths per annum by acting as a leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Reports suggest that genetic factors are estimated to be involved in approximately 30 to 50% of BP variation, and epigenetic marks are known to contribute to the initiation of the disease by influencing gene expression. Consequently,...
