The following were investigated: (1) how we became interested in studying adducin genes and what we know about adducin; (2) studies in animals and humans supporting the role of adducin polymorphisms in hypertension, including some methodological problems related to the dissection of the role of a given genetic molecular mechanism in a complex multifactorial polygenic disease like hypertension; (3) biochemical mechanisms underlying the effect of adducin and its interaction with the Na-K pump; and (4) future directions.
Key Words: adducin genetics hypertension Na-K pump endocytosis tubular renal reabsorption
