Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most signals from human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for blood pressure (BP) are single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). It was unknown if such SNPs can functionally affect BP. Because BP is similar between humans and rodents, unraveling basic mechanisms from rodents can reveal the same BP-modulating mechanisms in humans originating from their common ancestors while overcoming limitations in...
