Abstract excerpt
It remains to be defined whether molecular variants of the genes underlying Mendelian forms of hypertension play some etiological role in essential hypertension. To pursue this issue, we focused on the following three genes: the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, and mineralocorticoid receptor genes. Five sequence variations of these genes, which were either previously...
