摘要：

Genes play a very important role in the etiology of hypertension. This paper reviews the current pool of candidate genes for human hypertension. Some of the genes studied in rat models of hypertension are also discussed. The methods for studying the genetics of hypertension are reviewed. A discussion of the role of cardiac gene libraries and gene databases in the characterization of cardiovascular disease is also included. This review is concluded by a discussion on the future role of genomics and cardiovascular gene databases in medical research. Copyright © 1999 by Current Science Inc.
