Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been potentially implicated in both human and experimental hypertension. We performed the mutational analysis of tRNA(Lys) gene by PCR amplification and subsequent sequence analysis of the PCR fragments from 990 Chinese essential hypertensive subjects. We also made a comparative analysis of the collected data of the essential hypertension subjects who carried tRNA(Lys) mutation and...
