Rare mutations in genes affecting renal salt handling cause various syndromes of hypotension and hypertension and have produced important insights into major physiological processes and their regulation. However, the question arises whether these mutations may also affect blood pressure in a more general population and may contribute to the complex control of arterial blood pressure. The group of R.
