1. A method for diagnosing a genetic susceptibility for a disease, condition, or disorder in a subject comprising:
- obtaining a biological sample containing nucleic acid from said subject; and
analyzing said nucleic acid to detect the presence or absence of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the TGFβ
-RII gene, wherein said single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with a genetic predisposition for a disease selected from the group consisting of hypertension and end-stage renal disease due to hypertension.

Abstract
Disclosed are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with hypertension and end stage renal disease due to hypertension. Also disclosed are methods for using SNPs to determine susceptibility to end stage renal disease and hypertension; nucleotide sequences containing SNPs; kits for determining the presence of SNPs; and methods of treatment or prophylaxis based on the presence of SNPs.
