reveals a short, stocky appearing young woman.
She has Tanner stage 1 breasts and sparse pubic and
axillary hair. Her ears appear lower than usual and she
has a low hairline and a small mouth and mandible.
Additionally, her neck is short and she has a wide, broad
chest with nipples that are farther apart than normal.
She is markedly hypertensive.Which of the following is
the most likely cause of this patient’s hypertension?
