Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the last exon of the beta subunit of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel (betaENaC) can lead to Liddle's syndrome, a rare monogenic form of hypertension. The objective of this study was to test whether more subtle changes of betaENaC could be implicated in essential hypertension. After determination of the betaENaC coding gene organization (12 exons spanning 23.5 kb), a systematic...
