Remains preclinical; leaves open whether SA gene patterns contribute to hypertension or guide therapies in humans.
Spontaneous hypertension in rats is associated with an extended pattern of SA gene expression along the entire proximal tubule compared to normotensive strains.
Yang et al. (1996) studied this question.
