Chloride Channel Gene Polymorphism, Ischaemic Stroke and Hypertension
Stroke is a polygenic disorder. Previous genetic studies focused on candidate genes influencing pathogenic processes, with little emphasis on genes influencing vascular risk factors. Previous research linked the ClC-Kb T481S polymorphism to blood pressure (BP). We therefore undertook an association study to determine the relevance of this polymorphism to stroke, particularly lacunar stroke, giv...
متن کاملRole of chloride in angiotensin II-induced salt-sensitive hypertension.
The present study investigated the effect of the anion accompanying sodium on the development of angiotensin II-induced hypertension in rats and the role of the sympathetic nervous system and extracellular fluid volume in its mechanism. Hypertension was induced by intraperitoneal infusion of angiotensin II (125 ng/min) for 12 days via miniosmotic pump. High dietary intake of sodium chloride sig...
متن کاملA genetically determined condition?
Papadatos, C., Alexiou, D., Nicolopoulos, D., Mikropoulos, H., and Hadzigeorgiou, E. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 927. Congenital hypoplasia of depressor anguli oris muscle: a genetically determined condition? The frequency of hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle was 37 cases among 4 530 consecutive births (8 -2 %). Diagnosis was based on clinical and electromyographi...
متن کاملOverexpression of pendrin in intercalated cells produces chloride-sensitive hypertension.
Inherited and acquired disorders that enhance the activity of transporters mediating renal tubular Na(+) reabsorption are well established causes of hypertension. It is unclear, however, whether primary activation of an Na(+)-independent chloride transporter in the kidney can also play a pathogenic role in this disease. Here, mice overexpressing the chloride transporter pendrin in intercalated ...
متن کاملGenetically determined susceptibility to cancer.
This review summarizes evidence for genes that exist in humans that affect susceptibility to cancer. It is not possible yet to precisely describe the relationship between so-called "cancer gene(s)" and carcinogenesis. Among the questions that remain open is the nature of the events that must occur in individuals with a cancer gene before clinically significant cancer develops. Regardless of the...
