Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a missense mutation in the low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR) gene of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), proposing this gene as a promising candidate in genetic hypertension. In this study we provide further support for implicating this gene in genetic hypertension using two new inbred strains, WKHT and WKHA rats. These strains originated from crossbreeding SHR rats with...
