This study provides further evidence for linkage of FH-II to 7p22, refines the locus, and supports the notion that FH-II may be genetically heterogeneous.
Linkage in two Italian families makes this the third geographical area to show linkage of familial hyperaldosteronism type II at 7p22, emphasizing the likely importance of this locus in identifying the causative mutation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
