Tipster: To date, genes that are involved in the arising of this condition have proven difficult to be identified, but with this research project, researchers were able to identify a common mutation which is located on the genes that regulate the production of aldosterone and cortisol (important hormones secreted by adrenal glands) as being influential in high blood pressure development. This genes are represented by the corticosteroidogenic genes CYP11B2 and CYP11B1.
