Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Calcitonin-related peptide alpha (CALCA) is a neuropeptide that is a very potent vasodilator. It has been reported that CALCA knockout mice have a significantly elevated systolic blood pressure (BP). The aims of this study were to discover novel polymorphisms or mutations in the 5' flanking region of the human CALCA gene in Japanese subjects and to assess the association between this gene and...
