Computational analysis of candidate disease genes and variants for salt-sensitive hypertension in indigenous Southern Africans.

PloS one - 27 Sept 2010

Tiffin Nicki, Meintjes Ayton, Ramesar Rajkumar, Bajic Vladimir B, Rayner Brian

Abstract excerpt

Multiple factors underlie susceptibility to essential hypertension, including a significant genetic and ethnic component, and environmental effects. Blood pressure response of hypertensive individuals to salt is heterogeneous, but salt sensitivity appears more prevalent in people of indigenous Af...
