Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The secretory protein chromogranin A (CHGA) plays a necessary role in formation of catecholamine storage vesicles and gives rise to a catecholamine release-inhibitory fragment. Because genetic variation in the proximal human CHGA promoter predicts autonomic function and blood pressure, we explored how a common genetic variant alters transcription of the gene. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bioinformatic...
