Glucocorticoid suppressible hyperaldosteronism (GSH) is an uncommon form of dominantly inherited hypertension. Presentation with hypertension and complications such as stroke in early life are well recognised. The use of a simple genetic test carried out on blood or placenta facilitates the detection of infants and children with GSH before the development of hypertension, allowing prompt treatment of hypertension if it occurs, and an opportunity to study the effects of growth and environmental influences on the progression of the condition.
糖皮质激素可抑制性醛固酮增多症（GSH）是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传性高血压。早年出现高血压及中风等并发症的情况已广为人知。对血液或胎盘进行简单的基因检测有助于在高血压发生之前检测出患有GSH的婴幼儿，若高血压发生可及时进行治疗，同时也有机会研究生长和环境因素对该病进展的影响。
