Abstract excerpt
Primary hypertension is considered a polygenic, inherited disorder; to date, the nature of the genes involved remains unknown. In this study we present evidence for a structural difference in the gene coding for renin between the stroke-prone, spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) and its normotensive control, the Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY). Restriction fragment analysis using hybridization against probes...
