Blood pressure affected by genetic makeup

In today's genetic news, medical experts are now saying that personal genetic makeup can affect how a person reacts to blood pressure medications. If you're on generic hypertension medication, this news may be of significance to you.

Custom treatments for certain conditions based on one's genetic state will only become a larger industry from here. the history of current medication (until recently) has been blanket treatments for anyone diagnosed with certain illnesses or conditions. Is that philosophy changing? You bet.

But, of course, hard medical data and studies have a long road to confirm whether customized treatments based on genetic factors will continue seeing the light of day and even become mainstream medical practice.
