The study provides evidence that alpha1NK and NKC loci interact to increase susceptibility to salt-sensitive hypertension in Dahl rats, supporting gene interaction as a mechanism in multigenic hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate clinical implications; leaves open whether alpha1NK-NKC epistasis contributes to human salt-sensitive hypertension.
Herrera et al. (2001) studied this question.
