A variety of statistically significant genetic polymorphisms were identified that can be attributed to the heritability of varicose veins affecting inflammation and immunity (eg, PPP3R1, EBF1, and GATA2), hypertension (eg, CASZ1), and vascular architecture (eg, CASZ1, PIEZO1, and STIM2). The gene discussed is GATA2; the disease is hypertensive disorder.
