May support genotype-guided sodium restriction in hypertension; extends alpha-adducin evidence while leaving other variants unresolved.
Are specific genetic polymorphisms associated with salt sensitivity of blood pressure?
The alpha-adducin Gly460Trp polymorphism appears associated with salt-sensitive hypertension, highlighting a potential genetic basis for this phenotype, though standardization in testing is needed.
Beeks et al. (2004) studied this question.
