Unveiling Genetic Links to Hypertension: SMAD4 Mutations and Their Predicted Impact
Description
Hypertension or high blood pressure is when the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high. This damages your arteries over time and can lead to serious complications like heart attack and stroke. Hypertension is another word for this common condition. Healthcare providers call high blood pressure a “silent killer” because you usually do not present with symptoms. Many are not aware that they have hypertension. This study’s purpose is to identify and assess the pathogenicity of SMAD4 variants associated with hypertension.
