ABSTRACT:

1. Hypertension. 1997 Oct;30(4):854-9. Genetic isolation of a chromosome 1 region affecting blood pressure in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. St Lezin E(1), Liu W, Wang JM, Wang N, Kren V, Krenova D, Musilova A, Zdobinska M, Zidek V, Lau D, Pravenec M. Author information: (1)Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, USA. Recent linkage studies in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) suggest that a blood pressure regulatory gene or genes may be located on rat chromosome 1q. To investigate this possibility, we replaced a region of chromosome 1 in the SHR (defined by the markers D1Mit3 and Igf2) with the corresponding chromosome segment from the normotensive Brown-Norway (BN) strain. In male SHR congenic rats carrying the transferred BN chromosome segment, 24-hour average systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly lower than in male progenitor SHR. Polymerase chain reaction genotyping using 60 polymorphic microsatellite markers dispersed throughout the genome confirmed the congenic status of the new strain designated SHR.BN-D1Mit3/Igf2. These findings provide direct evidence that a blood pressure regulatory gene exists on the differential segment of chromosome 1 that is sufficient to decrease blood pressure in the SHR. The SHR.BN-D1Mit3/Igf2 congenic strain represents an important new model for fine mapping and characterization of genes on chromosome 1 involved in the pathogenesis of spontaneous hypertension.
