Abstract excerpt
Through the genotype/phenotype cosegregation analysis of an F(2) intercross, from the crossbreeding of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and stroke-resistant spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), we previously identified a quantitative trait locus for stroke on rat chromosome 5 (STR2) that colocalized with the genes encoding atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) and conferred a...
