Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Essential (multigenic) hypertension is a complex multifactorial disease whose genetic etiology has not been unraveled on a major locus-effect investigative paradigm. As with other complex genetic diseases, applying an interacting loci paradigm could be critical in the elucidation of genetic determinants. Having defined the alpha1 Na,K-ATPase (alpha1NK) as a hypertension susceptibility gene in Dahl...
