Genes listed under pharmacogenes are involved in the metabolism of antihypertensive drugs. Genes listed under susceptibility genes have been associated with hypertension in African populations [29]. Highlighted in bold are genes with pharmacogenetic studies done in individuals of African descent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
