The SA gene has been shown to be much more highly expressed in the kidneys of spontaneously hypertensive rats than in the corresponding wild-type strain. Genetic polymorphism of this gene has been shown to play a role in human hypertension, although the details of this association remain controversial. We investigated the possible associations between SA gene polymorphism and both hypertension and the prognosis...
