Genetic basis of polygenic hypertension.
Essential hypertension is a common disorder that leads to significant morbidity and mortality; however, the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. Recent animal model studies have uncovered a complex genetic architecture of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for blood pressure (BP), intricate QTL-QTL interactions and powerful genome regulations that underlie polygenic hypertension. BP, a quan...
متن کاملGenetic basis of hypertension: revisiting angiotensinogen.
Hypertension is a common and complex human disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Unfortunately, despite recent advances in understanding and treating hypertension, its prevalence continues to rise. Across the globe, 26% of the adult population experiences hypertension, and Kearney et al1 estimate that this could rise to 29% by the year 2025. According to the America...
متن کاملGenetic basis of blood pressure and hypertension.
Blood pressure (BP) is a complex trait regulated by an intricate network of physiological pathways involving extracellular fluid volume homeostasis, cardiac contractility and vascular tone through renal, neural or endocrine systems. Untreated high BP, or hypertension (HTN), is associated with increased mortality, and thus a better understanding of the pathophysiological and genetic underpinning...
متن کاملInm-6: Molecular Genetic Basis of Infertility
Background: Sexual reproduction affords the stands for conserving genetic characteristics and sequentially, genetic inconsistency may influence the capability to imitate. Materials and Methods: Research was conducted by subject in PubMed and other databases. Results: A significant number of genotypes have been related with infertility phenotypes and evaluation of precise genes in humans and mod...
متن کاملA polygenic basis for late-onset disease.
The biological basis of late-onset disease has been shaped by genetic factors subject to varying degrees of evolutionary constraint. Late-onset traits are not only more sensitive to environmental variation, owing to the breakdown of homeostatic mechanisms, but they also show higher levels of genetic variation than traits directly influencing reproductive fitness. The origin and nature of this v...
