Gene editing of angiotensin for blood pressure management by Stefano Masi, Hermann Dalpiaz, Claudio Borghi

“…While early Genome-Wide Association Studies raised the hypothesis that a precision medicine approach could be implemented in the treatment of hypertension, the large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms that were found to be associated with blood pressure and their limited impact on the blood pressure values have initially hampered these expectations. With the development and refinement of gene-editing and RNA-based approaches allowing selective and organ-specific modulation of critical systems involved in blood pressure regulation, a renewed interest in genetic treatments for hypertension has emerged. …”
