Susceptibility
  • to changes in blood pressure
  • to hypertensive end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • common genetic variants in the CHGA promoter may regulate heritable changes in blood pressure
  • common variants associate with the risk of hypertensive ESRD in blacks
  • Candidate gene for autonomic dysfunction syndromes and hypertension
