摘要
Based on the published cDNA base sequence for the (anonymous) S(A) gene, a polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) product from the S(A) gene was obtained from a Dah1 salt-sensitive rat kidney cDNA library. Compared to the published sequence, this product had a 102 base pair insert in the 3' end of the cDNA, probably as the result of alternate mRNA splicing. A StuI restriction fragment length polymorphism detected three alleles among various rat strains using this PCR S(A) gene probe. Alleles at the S(A) locus strongly cosegregated with blood pressure (P = .0012) in a salt-fed F2 population derived from crossing Dah1 S and Lewis rats. In contrast, a cosegregation analysis of blood pressure and S(A) alleles in salt-fed F2 rats derived from a Dah1 S X Wistar-Kyoto cross gave a negative cosegregation result. It is concluded that in certain genetic backgrounds the S(A) gene (or a closely linked gene) can contribute a significant component of genetic hypertension.
