Abstract
Blood pressure genomics is among the most challenging of research fields in cardiovascular medicine. The genome-wide association studies era resulted in an unparalleled burst of discovery greatly advancing our understanding of the genetic architecture of blood pressure. In this chapter we provide an introduction to complex trait genetics and describe the various monogenic syndromes of hypertension and hypotension followed by recent insights from genome-wide association studies of the polygenic blood pressure trait and hypertension.
