Introduction: Prehypertension is a pre-disease state of hypertension, with a conversion rate of up to 37% in 5 years. Epigenetic changes have been proposed to play a role in the etiopathogenesis. The epigenetic changes in -Adducin (ADD1) gene in prehypertensive state in young adults is yet to be ex...
