Abstract excerpt
Subtle genetic variants in ion-channel genes might be at the origin of less rare forms of hypertension in the general population. To test this hypothesis, we observed the role of several important polymorphisms (T1155547C at exon7, G1155942T at exon8, G1156666A at intron10, and C1163527T at intron14) of WNK4 (with-no-kinase) gene on the prevalence of essential hypertension in a Chinese minority ethnic group-the...
