Recent linkage studies in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) suggest that a blood pressure regulatory gene or genes may be located on rat chromosome 1q. To investigate this possibility, we replaced a region of chromosome 1 in the SHR (defined by the markers D1Mit3 and Igf2) with the corresponding chromosome segment from the normotensive Brown-Norway (BN) strain. In male SHR congenic rats carrying the...
