Events There have been many reported cases of GRA from around the world, including the United States, Japan and Italy, Dluhy said. "It's been known for the last 50 years that the causes of high blood pressure are different in different individuals," Lifton said.

There are many side effects to the medications and frequently they don't work well enough to reduce blood pressure or prevent bad outcomes, he added. GRA is difficult to diagnose and is usually overlooked, Lifton said. Unless special tests are performed, "it looks like anyone else's," he added. Dluhy recommends families with a history of hypertension and signs of hormonal excess be screened for GRA. "One of our next goals is to examine a lot of people with hypertension and see how many have GRA1. We don't think it's going to explain hypertension in the general population," Lifton said. But for families afflicted by GRA, it is important for them to know there is specific therapy available. Primary people at risk are those who have early, severe familial hypertension, Lifton said. While hypertension is normally identified in people in their 30s and 40s, the GRA form is frequently identified the first time an individual's blood pressure is measured, usually in the teens. "Utah is the best place in the world to do human genetics. For any kind of human genetic study, it is very helpful to be able to study large families and Utah is a unique resource in that regard," Lifton said. Dandoy, Utah Department of Health.
