Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Chromosome 1p36 has been linked to essential hypertension and systolic blood pressure.

Polymorphisms of each of these have shown association with hypertension, and a CLCNKB T481S variant alters receptor function. Here we performed association studies in a well-characterized cohort of...
