Key result
Npr1 gene disruption in 0-copy mutant mice resulted in significantly higher baseline systolic arterial pressure (143 +/- 2 mmHg) compared to 2-copy wild-type animals (104 +/- 2 mmHg).

Npr1 gene dosage modulates BP in mice; leaves open translational relevance to human hypertension and RAAS.
Absolute Event Rate: 143% vs 104%
Genetic disruption of the NPRA receptor in mice leads to elevated blood pressure and age-dependent alterations in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, suggesting NPRA activation directly inhibits renin.
Shi et al. (2001) studied Npr1 gene disruption. Npr1 gene disruption (0-copy mutant) vs. 2-copy wild-type (+/+) animals was evaluated on Baseline systolic arterial pressure (SAP). Npr1 gene disruption in 0-copy mutant mice resulted in significantly higher baseline systolic arterial pressure (143 +/- 2 mmHg) compared to 2-copy wild-type animals (104 +/- 2 mmHg).
