Analysis of VNTRs in the solute carrier family 6, member 18 (SLC6A18) and lack of association with hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

We report here the distribution of VNTRs (variable number of tandem repeats; minisatellites) and polymorphic analysis of SLC6A18, which is a member of the SLC6 Na(+)- and Cl(-)-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family. In this study, DNA was obtained from 300 unrelated individuals and 205 patients with essential hypertension (EH). We then analyzed the VNTRs in the genomic DNA by searching for minisatellites...
