Human alpha-adducin gene, blood pressure, and sodium metabolism

The adducin genes contribute significantly to population variation in rat blood pressure and cell membrane sodium transport. The 460Trp mutation of the human alpha-adducin gene has been associated with hypertension, in particular hypertension sensitive to sodium restriction. We studied the relations...
