Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: -After genome-wide linkage analyses of blood pressure levels, we resequenced 5 positional candidate genes in a linkage region on chromosome 5 and genotyped selected variants in several family samples from Rochester, Minn. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a sample of 55 pedigrees containing >/=1 sibling-pair(s) discordant for systolic blood pressure, polymorphisms within the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor gene...
