Identification of osteopontin as a positional and functional candidate gene for cardiac hypertrophy in the SHRSP rat
2026-08-27
Abstract excerpt
Left ventricular hypertrophy, common in cardiometabolic and renal disease, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Left ventricular mass is a highly heritable, polygenic trait. Linkage studies in WKY and SHRSP rats have identified a quantitative trait locus for left ventricular mass index on chromosome 14. Congenic strains, where trait-associated genetic loci are introduced into a contro...
