Abstract | Purpose of review: Turner syndrome (TS), neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1), and William Syndrome (WS) are 3 genetic conditions that are all associated with a substantial increase in risk of hypertension. In this review, we focus on factors leading to hypertension and on clinical manifestations and management of hypertension in children and adolescents with these genetic conditions RECENT FINDINGS: In most instances, hypertension is secondary. There is a high prevalence of masked hypertension in TS; however, the extent to which control of the BP helps reduce the risk of aortic dissection/aneurysm in TS is not yet fully elucidated. Vasculopathies are the least emphasized but most important manifestation of NF1. Of note, routine screening for pheochromocytoma in NFI is not recommended as it is not cost-effective. Cardiovascular complications are the major cause of death in patients with WBS. ABPM identifies patients without overt aortic or renovascular narrowing. Antihypertensive agents such as ARBs that have direct vascular wall effects and agents that inhibit oxidative stress (minoxidil) should be considered, even in those who do not exhibit overt hypertension. Elevated blood pressure in children and adolescence manifests early with end-organ changes and when left untreated, increases risk for premature onset of cardiovascular disease. Vigilant monitoring of the blood pressure is recommended. Accurate early diagnosis and management of hypertension will delay or prevent target organ damage and ensure a healthier transition to adulthood among children afflicted with these conditions. |
