Genetic markers which identify individuals who decrease their blood pressure through exercise

摘要

Methods of reducing blood pressure levels in hypertensive subjects through the identification of subjects with an allele and/or genotype at a gene locus that positively correlates with improved success in reducing blood pressure levels, as compared to other alleles and/or genotypes at the same gene locus, and through the engagement of these subjects in exercise training for a period of time sufficient for the reduction of the subjects' blood pressure levels.
