Gene study: CORIN and high blood pressure in Afro-Caribbeans
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific gene (CORIN) is linked to high blood pressure in people of Afro-Caribbean descent in Guadeloupe. It compares people with high blood pressure to healthy volunteers to see if the gene is more common in those with hypertension.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You consider yourself of Afro-Caribbean descent (like from Guadeloupe)
- You either have high blood pressure (treated or untreated) or do not have high blood pressure (as a healthy comparison)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are willing to sign a consent form

This study looks at how your genes affect your blood pressure and response to treatment. It may help find better ways to manage high blood pressure.
This study looks at genetic differences in adults from African diaspora groups to better understand risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. You may help scientists learn why these conditions are more common in certain communities.
This trial is for people who took part in a large study (SCAPIS) and have both a certain genetic trait and high blood pressure. The goal is to understand how your genes may affect blood pressure.
This study uses your genetic information (a polygenic risk score) to guide personalized blood pressure management. It aims to help people with high blood pressure and overall poor heart health improve their levels through tailored advice.
This study looks at the body’s hormone signals to understand what causes primary aldosteronism (a condition that can lead to high blood pressure). By comparing clinical results and lab data, researchers hope to improve how the condition is diagnosed and managed, especially in Black participants.
This study follows people to understand heart disease risk by combining a heart risk score with genetic risk (polygenic risk). It may help improve how doctors identify who is at higher risk and could guide prevention planning.
