Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the genes on chromosome 16p12 that encode the beta and gamma subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (SCNNIB and SCNNIG, respectively) have been linked with rare sodium-dependent forms of low and high blood pressure. Other DNA variants in or around these genes may contribute to variation in blood pressure and the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. METHODS: We studied 286 white...
