Linkage Analysis of Candidate Genes and Gene-Gene Interactions in Chinese Hypertensive Sib Pairs
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of hypertension in humans and experimental animal models have identified a number of candidate genes that have since been implicated as possibly contributing to essential hypertension. Among them are the genes encoding angiotensinogen, renin, the beta- and gamma-subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (beta/gamma-ENaC), alpha-adducin, and kallikrein (KLK). To examine the role of possible...
