Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH-II) is characterized by inheritance of primary aldosteronism (PAL) but, unlike FH-I, is not glucocorticoid remediable and not associated with the hybrid CYP11B1/CYP11B2 gene mutation. Analysis of two pedigrees previously demonstrated linkage of FH-II with a locus at chromosome 7p22. We sought to determine whether mutations in the exons or intron/exon boundaries...
