[The role of immunogenetic research in studying hypertension]

The distribution of antigens of the main complex of histocompatibility was studied in 50 patients suffering of hypertensive disease complicated by cerebrovascular disfunction of the brain. A correlation was found between the development of hypertensive disease and several antigens. Results of the study confirm the role of the role of the genetic factor in the development of hypertensive disease and the significance of immunogenetic investigations.
