Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To review, on a genome-wide scale, a linkage result obtained in an earlier candidate gene analysis in this same study sample, and to look for other possible contributing genetic loci predisposing to hypertension in this population. DESIGN: An affected sibpair linkage study with highly polymorphic genetic markers spanning the genome at an average intermarker density of 10 cM. PARTICIPANTS: A total of...
