【 摘 要 】

References(77)Cited-By(5)Essential hypertension (EH) accounts for 80-90% of hypertension, and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is responsible for hypertension during pregnancy. Both considered multifactorial disorders. While both have many features in common, conditions and causes of these diseases have yet to be clarified. Since both diseases are associated with hypertension, the genetic backgrounds may contain common features. The present study reviewed similarities and differences between women with EH and PIH, with a particular focus on their genetic backgrounds.
