Chromosome 17 and the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene in human essential hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

Essential hypertension is a common multifactorial trait that results in a significantly increased risk for heart attack and stroke. The condition has a genetic basis, although at present the number of genes is unknown. In order to identify such genes, we are utilising a linkage scanning approach using microsatellite markers and affected sibships. Here we provide evidence for the location of at least one...
