Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in molecular biology have allowed the study of the candidate genes for essential hypertension. To identify the genes responsible for basal blood pressure in the spontaneously hypertensive rat strain, the rat model of genetic hypertension, we performed a cosegregation analysis betw...
