Cosegregation of blood pressure with angiotensin converting enzyme and atrial natriuretic peptide receptor genes using Dahl salt−sensitive rats

We have evaluated the genes for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and guanylyl cyclase A/atrial natriuretic peptide receptor (GCA) for genetic effects on blood pressure response to high salt diet. In F2 rats derived from Milan normotensive and Dahl salt−hypertension sensitive (S) rats, both ACE and GCA cosegregated with blood pressure, and rats that were homozygous for the S allele at both the ACE and GCA loci had inordinately high blood pressure. In F2 derived from Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and S rats, GCA revealed positive cosegregation with blood pressure, but ACE did not. We conclude that certain alleles at the GCA and ACE loci (or at loci closely linked to them) have a significant genetic impact on blood pressure response to high salt in specific rat strains.
