The dysfunction of baroreflex plays an important role in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. Recent studies suggest that approximately 40% of the variation in baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) may be accounted for by genetic factors. However, only a few such genetic polymorphisms have been explicitly identified.
