Body mass index is a mediumiator of the genetic association between STK39 and blood pressure in Mexican women

2022-03-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Although obesity causally relates to hypertension, the underlying genetic mechanisms are not completely understood. STK39 gene, encoding the SPAK kinase, associates with both hypertension and body mass index (BMI). In a murine model, we previously showed that the inactivation of SPAK resulted in a hypotensive and obesity-resistant phenotype. Methods We analyzed the mediator effect of BMI on...
