Among these genes, expressed in all three layers of the aorta were PTEN, PKD2, WNK1, CTNNB1, ROCK2, APOE, SSB, HGS, and BMPR2. The genes expressed in the tunica intima and media of the aorta were CP, PVR, and C3. The genes expressed in the tunica adventitia of the aorta were FABP4, FH, ASL, CXCR4, MVD, APOL1, SCD, CAD, and ACE. Medical history was reviewed and showed that the patient had hypertension upon admission. This evidence concerns the gene WNK1 and Hypertension.
