Abstract
Mothers with a specific mutation in a mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) gene may pass a predisposition to high blood pressure on to their children, according to Min-Xin Guan of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, and his collaborators. The observation that hypertension within the three families studied appeared to be inherited exclusively maternally led them to suspect mitochondrial involvement, he says. Details appear in the July 2016 Molecular and Cellular Biology (doi:10.1128/MCB.00199–16).
