Human CYP11B2 (Aldosterone Synthase) Maps To Chromosome 8q24.3

1 Mar 1998

Abstract excerpt

Aldosterone synthase (AS) is encoded by the CYP11B2 gene, a candidate for familial hypertension. CYP11B2 was previously mapped to chromosome 8q but its precise localization is necessary for genetic studies of hypertension. The present study reports the genetic mapping of the human CYP11B2 gene by radiation hybrid (RH) analysis, the isolation of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) containing this gene and its...
