Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the mechanism of lipid metabolism in the genesis of essential hypertension (EH), we linked blood pressure (BP) phenotypes with the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene. Variance component and sib-pair linkage models were used to test the relationship of the polymorphisms in the LPL gene region and EH in 148 Chinese hypertensive families. Linkage evidence with systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) was...
