Abstract excerpt
Reduced adrenal 11 beta-hydroxylation has been associated with an aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) polymorphism. The 11 beta-hydroxylase gene (CYP11B1) lies close to CYP11B2. We hypothesize that a molecular variant in CYP11B2 is in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with a key quantitative trait in CYP11B1 determining this phenotype. Polymorphisms and inferred haplotypes at CYP11B loci were studied in two independent...
