There is limited evidence on the gene-environmental interaction among alpha-adducin G460W gene polymorphism, sodium intake, and blood pressure (BP) levels in a general population. One hypothesis is that the association between G460W polymorphism and BP is more evident among persons with higher sodium intake than those with lower sodium intake.
