Abstract excerpt
Hypertension affects one billion people worldwide and is the most common risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet a comprehensive picture of its underlying genetic factors is incomplete. Amongst regulators of blood pressure is the renal outer medullary potassium (ROMK) channel. While select ROMK mutants are prone to premature degradation and lead to disease, heterozygous carriers of some of these same alleles...
