[Relationship between SA gene Pst1 polymorphism and predisposition to H-gestosis].

Genetic factors have been reported to play an important role in the predisposition to development of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). On the other hand, there is strong evidence that genetic factors play important role in the predisposition to essential hypertension. Recently, the plausible "candidate gene" for the development of hypertension is SA gene.
