Abstract excerpt
STK39 was earlier implicated as a hypertension susceptibility gene and is thought to be involved in the control of Na-Cl co-transporter activity. STK39 has been implicated as a putative thiazide diuretic response gene, as Na-Cl co-transporter activity is inhibited by thiazides. Thus, we aimed to determine whether STK39 is a thiazide response gene. One hundred and ninety-five 'good' and 194 'poor' responders to...
