Renalase gene is a novel susceptibility gene for essential hypertension: a two-stage association study in northern Han Chinese population.

Abstract excerpt

Renalase, a novel flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent amine oxidase, is secreted by the kidney, degrades circulating catecholamines, and modulates cardiac function and systemic blood pressure (BP). Its discovery may provide novel insights into the mechanisms of BP regulation and the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH). We designed a two-stage case-control study to investigate whether the renalase gene...
