MR Antagonist and LSD1 (NCT04840342)
Role of LSD1 in Hypertension in Blacks
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Lysine specific demethylase-1 (LSD1) is an epigenetic regulator of gene transcription involved in the pathophysiology of elevated blood pressure and likely renal damage in Blacks. This project investigates whether a genetically driven anti-hypertensive approach proves superior in controlling blood pressure and mitigating renal injury in Blacks who carry the risk allele for LSD1 (rs587168). The findings of these investigations may lead to a new approach in treating a subset (\~30%) of the essential hypertension population (Black LSD1 risk allele hypertensives).
