Abstract excerpt
The application of gene mapping methods to uncover the genetic basis of hypertension in the inbred spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) began over 25 yr ago. This animal provides a useful model of genetic high blood pressure, and some of its features are described. In particular, it appears to be a polygenic model of disease, and polygenes participate in human hypertension genetic risk. The SHR hypertension...
