title: The genetic basis of hypertension: progress and opportunities.
abstract: Essential hypertension results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. To date progress has mainly concerned rare genetic forms of hypertension, but molecular advances and current large collaborative studies make it likely that common genetic factors in hypertension will soon be determined.
