Is it definitely Aldosterone that they are recommending is done?
The article I can find for Prof Morris. Can anyone access the article?
http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ng.2716.html
I can not read - ?but is it talking about a genetic test - ?£15 seems unlikely for that.
The BHF that co-sponsoered the research doesn't mention a £15 test

Aldosterone assays provider- would it cost us £15 to send you a sample for Aldosterone?
Where have they got this figure from?
