Abstract excerpt
Recently, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of alpha 2-adrenergic receptor gene (alpha 2-C10) digested with Bsu36I restriction enzyme has been reported in US populations. Therefore, we examined the association of this RFLP with essential hypertension by comparing the frequency of specific alleles for this gene in Japanese populations. The distribution of this RFLP was compared with that in US...
