Abstract excerpt
Serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) gene has been reported to be a hypertension-susceptibility gene by a recent genome-wide association study in Western populations. To validate this finding in Chinese, we focused on five well-characterized common polymorphisms in STK39 gene to examine their potential association with hypertension in a large northeastern Han population. This is a hospital-based case-control study...
