Interestingly, four of these genes (KCNMB1, NEDD4L, ADD1 and NPR3) have been implied in genetic susceptibility for hypertension [41]–[44], while two genes have been associated with genetic susceptibility for stroke (PDE4D) [45] or myocardial infarction (ADD1) [46]. Here, KCNMB1 is linked to Stroke.
