Why the study?
Is the long variant of the DRD4 gene associated with higher blood pressure in a white population?
Is the long variant of the DRD4 gene associated with higher blood pressure in a white population?
The long variant of the DRD4 gene is associated with slightly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a white population.
Should not change BP management; leaves open DRD4's causal role in hypertension.
In this white population, the long variant of the DRD4 gene is associated with a 3-mm Hg higher systolic and 2-mm Hg higher diastolic BP.
