    Effect:
    EPHA4 appears to be a sex-specific hypertension risk gene in type 2 diabetic patients.
    Reference:
    Title:
    EPHA4 regulates vascular smooth muscle cell contractility and is a sex-specific hypertension risk gene in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
    Species studied:
    Human
    Abstract:
    We investigated the association of genetic variants of EPHA4, a receptor tyrosine kinase, with hypertension, and its role in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contractility.
