Polymorphisms in human connexin40 gene promoter are associated with increased risk of hypertension in men.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (TSC) is involved in the fine regulation of sodium excretion by the kidney, and an increase in its activity causes salt-sensitive hypertension and hypercalciuria. METHODS:To explore the possibility that activating mutations in the TSC gene may be involved in the pa...
