Variants in the genes encoding accessory proteins that modify or organize G protein coupling have been associated with disease; these include the contribution of variants of the regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) to hypertension; the role of variants of activator of G protein signaling type III in phenotypes such as hypoxia; the contribution of variation at the RGS10 gene to short stature and immunological compromise; and the involvement of variants of G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), such as GRK4, in hypertension. This evidence concerns the gene RGS10 and Hypertension.
