Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hypertension or persistent high blood pressure (BP) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Extensive evidence indicates that the thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCC) affects BP via regulation of renal sodium reabsorption. However, the relationship between genetic variants of the NCC-encoding SLC12A3 gene and hypertension in the Mongolian population is still ambiguous. In this study, we...
