Genetic markers at the leptin (OB) locus are not significantly linked to hypertension in African Americans.

Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) - 1 Jun 1998

Abstract excerpt

Increased body mass index (BMI) has been correlated with increased blood pressure in human populations. To examine the role of the leptin gene (OB) in essential hypertension in African Americans, we performed affected sib pair analysis on a set of 103 hypertensive African American sibships using four highly polymorphic markers at the human leptin locus. No evidence of linkage was detected between these markers...
