Abstract
Essential hypertension is a complex genetic disease determined by multiple biological pathways and influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The high prevalence of hypertension, with its major impact on morbidity and mortality, results in a significant health and financial burden on the individual and on society. Genetic insights from monogenic syndromes and genome-wide association studies have advanced our understanding of biological pathways underlying interindividual variation in blood pressure. In this chapter, we describe the genetic basis of blood pressure and hypertension with the implications of these in current clinical practice.
