Abstract excerpt
To detect genetic predisposing factors for hypertension, we screened the genome of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). We determined the genotypes of all F2 rats at polymorphic sites between the two strains, using the DNA of F2 rats derived from mating of SHR and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Cosegregation analysis was conducted to assess whether the genotypes of polymorphic markers associate with any phenotypic...
