Popis:	Essential hypertension among adults is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is now generally accepted that the aberrant regulatory mechanisms which develop into essential hypertension have their onset in children. Among various factors related to the development of essential hypertension, genetic determinants play a major role in influencing blood pressure. The present study focuses on genetic factors implicated at the onset of the development of essential hypertension or during the pre-hypertensive period. At this stage, these factors are more likely to be causes of hypertension rather than a consequence of longstanding hypertension.
