Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiology underlying proteinuria remains incompletely understood and warrants further research. We currently initiated the investigation of the genetic basis of proteinuria in the Sabra rat, a model of salt susceptibility that we showed previously to be also a model of spontaneous proteinuria that is unrelated to salt loading or development of hypertension. We applied the total genome scan strategy in...
