Selective blockade of the norepinephrine transporter with reboxetine has been reported to induce a slight but significant increase in blood pressure. This study was designed to examine the relation of genetic variants of the norepinephrine transporter gene (solute carrier family 6, member 2; SLC6A2) with hypertension in a Japanese population. We genotyped five genetic variants of SLC6A2, three in the promoter...
