At least two BP QTLs on rat chromosome 1 act independently of Sa; hypothesis-generating for hypertension genetics, with no clinical implications yet.
The study identifies at least two quantitative trait loci affecting blood pressure on rat chromosome 1, demonstrating that the blood pressure effect in this region is not solely due to the Sa gene.
Frantz et al. (2001) studied this question.
