Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in renal sodium and water retention and membrane ion transport play important roles in development of hypertension. Recently, Arg904Gln variant of thiazide-sensitive NaCl-cotransporter gene (TSC) and Thr418Ser variant of renal epithelial Cl-channel ClC-Kb gene (CLCNKB) were found implicated in the prevalence of essential hypertension (EH). The objective of this study was to examine the...
