Does replacing a specific region of chromosome 1 with a normotensive segment reduce blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
This study provides direct evidence that a blood pressure regulatory gene exists on a specific segment of chromosome 1, establishing a new congenic rat model for studying the genetics of spontaneous hypertension.
Lezin et al. (1997) studied this question.
