Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Total genome scans of genetically segregating populations derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and other rat models of hypertension have suggested the presence of quantitative trait loci (QTL) regulating blood pressure and cardiac mass on multiple chromosomes, including chromosome 2. The objective of the current study was to directly test for the presence of a blood pressure QTL on...
