at least 10 genes are involved in controlling blood pressure. Most of these genes work by controlling the amount of salt and water reabsorbed into the blood by the kidney. The gene angiotensinogen (AGT) is a protein made in the liver that controls salt and water retention, which controls blood pressure. Variants of AGT have been linked to a predisposition to hypertension.
