Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genes underlying renal regulation of sodium and water balances are a priori valid candidates for polygenic hypertension susceptibility genes. Having recently identified the association of alpha1 Na,K-ATPase (ATP1A1) and Na,K,2Cl-cotransporter (NKCC2) as interacting hypertension susceptibility loci in both a rat model and human hypertensives, we investigated whether the thiazide-sensitive...
