Abstract excerpt
Using the restriction endonuclease, BgI I, Samani et al. found a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for the renin gene in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and its normotensive control Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. This RFLP was confirmed in our laboratory in SHR and WKY rats using a rat renin cDNA probe. The correlation of blood pressure and the renin RFLP was examined in 106 F2 rats produced from F1...
