Abstract excerpt
Both linkage and use of congenic strains have shown that a chromosome region near the gene for the Na-K-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit (Atp1a1) contained a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for blood pressure (BP). Currently, two congenic strains, designated S.M5 and S.M6, were made by replacing a segment of the Dahl salt-sensitive SS/Jr (S) rat by the homologous region of the Milan normotensive rat (MNS). In S.M5, the...
