Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the influence of gene by smoking (GxS) interaction on hypertension and blood pressure (BP) using genome-wide linkage analysis in Mexican-Americans, followed by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) fine mapping of candidate genes in the linked chromosomal region. METHODS: We used nonparametric methods to test for linkage of microsatellites with hypertension and BP...
