Common polymorphisms in genes encoding the human mineralocorticoid receptor and the human amiloride-sensitive sodium channel

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1998 Mar;64(5-6):227-30. doi: 10.1016/s0960-0760(97)00195-7.

Abstract

We have examined the human mineralocorticoid receptor gene and the genes encoding the three subunits of the human amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel. Eight new common polymorphisms were identified in these genes which may be useful in genotyping and linkage analysis.
