Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that the association between altered behaviour of the erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransporter (SLC) and hypertension could be secondary to its association with the risk of vascular disease rather than raised blood pressure (BP) per se. Homozygosity for the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) deletion allele has also been linked to a more severe phenotype for cardiovascular disease. The...
