Abstract
The invention discloses a collection of polymorphic sites in genes know or suspected to have a role in hypertension. The invention provides nucleic acids including such polymorphic sites. The nucleic acids can be used as probes or primers or for expressing variant proteins. The invention also provide methods of analyzing the polymorphic forms occupying the polymorphic sites.
