Patients with hypertension gene map

Brazil scientists are launching a national drawing the map of genes in patients with hypertension studies to patients with different personality changes in the gene therapy, access to better outcomes.

The study coordinator Yimoge Deauville, currently known six kinds of genetic changes and hypertension-related diseases. As long as four types of genetic changes, the body will increase endocrine As a result, more fluid retention in the body, causing high blood pressure. He said that the passage of this genetic research, scientists would like to know Brazil changes in the course of these genes, gene changes which the greatest impact on hypertension, all kinds of genetic changes in response to the drug, as well as drug may cause side effects. At present, 145 aged 35 and above, with the standard drug treatment is ineffective in patients with hypertension participated in the study. By a multidisciplinary team of experts plan three years to complete the study.

Yimoge Deauville pointed out that due to the ethnic differences in genes to a certain extent, in a country of the genome mapping may not be applicable to another country patients
