2009; Olson et al. 2012; Ash et al. 2013a; Pescatello et al. 2017). These findings and FURIN's regulatory role in BP control make FURIN a biological plausible candidate gene to explore for associations with PEH. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine if FURIN variants exhibit intensity and race‐dependent associations with PEH among Black and White adults with hypertension. Here, FURIN is linked to hypertensive disorder.
