Brief description High blood pressure is caused by a variety of inherited alterations (mutations) in the letters our DNA and lifestyle. The aim of this project is to investigate gains and losses of large portions of DNA sequences consisting of between ten thousand and over a million letters (known as Copy Number Variation). We will compare the DNA of subjects who have high blood pressure with subjects who are normal. This discovery of changes may help diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
