Abstract excerpt
This study aims to test the implication of regions on chromosomes 9, 17, and 18 in essential hypertension (EH) by combining sibling-pair linkage analysis and case-control association studies. The selection of these chromosomal regions is based on previous evidence of their implication in EH or in related phenotypes by comparative genomics in several rat models and from genome-wide linkage studies in humans.
