[Genetic markers and susceptibility to hypertension].

Abstract

Genetic markers Hp, Gc, EstD and phosphoglucomutase (PGM) were studied in patients with essential hypertension (EH). The authors proved relationship between GcI-I-genotype and predisposition to EH. Heterozygote type 1-2 of the Gc-system was more resistant to the disease. The authors conclude that genetics markers may make the basis for studying the EH etiology and determining its more etiologically similar forms.
