Relative to carriers of the wild type (Gly/Gly) ADD1 gene, patients carrying the mutated Trp ADD1 allele had higher blood pressure (systolic blood pressure (SBP) 143.2 +/- 1.0 versus 140.6 +/- 0.6 mmHg P = 0.027 and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 94.2 +/- 0.77 versus 92.3 +/- 0.5 mmHg, P = 0.03), lower PRA and EO, consistent with the hypothesis of the renal sodium retaining effect of the Trp allele.
