Abstract excerpt
Sodium transport comprises a set of interacting systems. Consequently, a defective sodium transport gene affects multiple sodium transport systems, and a sodium transport variable measured on a sample of individuals reflects genetic variation from a number of different genes, complicating the task of identifying the effect of a single gene. To test for genes which affect sodium transport, we first applied...
