Abstract
Methods of reducing blood pressure levels in hypertensive subjects through the identification of subjects with an allele and/or genotype at a gene locus that positively correlates with improved success in reducing blood pressure levels, as compared to other alleles and/or genotypes at the same gene locus, and through the engagement of these subjects in exercise training for a period of time sufficient for the reduction of the subjects' blood pressure levels.
