Genetic bases of urinary albumin excretion and related traits in hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological as well as animal studies have recognized the potential role of genetic factors in the development of microalbuminuria and related traits (renal insufficiency, end-stage renal disease and nephroangiosclerosis) in hypertension. To unravel genetic variants of susceptibility, candidate gene, linkage and genome wide scan analysis has been used. In spite of the great efforts that have been made in the...
