microRNAs in Essential Hypertension and Blood Pressure Regulation
Unravelling the complete genetic predisposition to high blood pressure
(BP) has proven to be challenging. This puzzle and the fact that coding regions of the genome account for less than 2 % of the entire human DNA support the hypothesis that mechanisms besides coding genes are likely to contribute to BP regulation. Non-coding RNAs, especially microRNAs, are emerging as key players of transcription regulation in both health and disease states.
