Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases and in particular hypertension represent a major burden in terms of Public health worldwide. Hypertension is a complex disease where multiple genetic alterations influenced by a variety of environmental factors are essential for the manifestation of the phenotype. It is believed that hypertension results from an imbalance between the interplay of complex vasopressor/growth stimulating versus vasodepressor/growth inhibiting systems. Thus, one of the major challenges in the area is to dissect each component of these systems, its genes and their functional variants, their regulation, and their relative importance within this complex interplay which determines the levels of blood pressure within normal or pathological ranges throughout the life span. In this project we want to use a multidisciplinary approach with the participation of a team of researches with a wide range of expertise to address the topics listed below. All sections attempt to share the same approach aimed to integrate knowledge from DNA to bedside with more or less emphasis in cell, animal, or clinical work. (AU)
