"Up to 100 million people globally have genetic mutations that keep their blood pressure low and lower their risk of heart and kidney disease and stroke, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday...
'We find that about two percent of the population has mutations in at least one of these three genes -- although all of the identified mutations are individually very rare...Lifton's team has found other genetic mutations affecting blood pressure.
'Because these three genes comprise only a small fraction of those in which mutations are known to alter blood pressure, and because there are likely to be many more genes yet to be discovered, it seems probable that the combined effects of rare independent mutations will account for a substantial fraction of blood pressure variation in the population,' they concluded."
In other words, it is too complex for them to figure out in time, if ever, to save your fat ass.
