NCT ID NCT00549991
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked for genetic differences that might make some people more likely to develop high blood pressure. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 9,000 African American and Mexican American participants. The goal was to find specific gene variations linked to hypertension, which could lead to better risk prediction and future treatments.
