Abstract excerpt
Little is known about genetic determinants explaining variation in the erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport (SLC), an intermediate phenotype of essential hypertension. We characterized the SLC in immortalized lymphoblasts and showed that its behavior is similar to that of erythrocyte SLC. We then performed association and linkage analyses of the SLC in immortalized lymphoblasts from 5 large pedigrees from...
