Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1994, 91:3999-4003. Demonstrates the epistatic interaction of α and β adducin subunits on blood pressure in rats. The finding of epistatic interaction of two genes map on different chromosomes is a strong argument to indicate that adducin itself plays a causal role in the development of hypertension.
