A Genome-Wide Scan for Urinary Albumin Excretion in Hypertensive Families
19 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Albuminuria increases the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with essential hypertension and diabetic subjects. The heritability (h2) of albuminuria in multiplex hypertensive families is unknown. We calculated the familial aggregation of urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) and performed a genome-wide scan to assess for loci contributing to ACR in participants enrolled in the Hypertension Genetic...
