Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether or not beta2 adrenoceptor polymorphism is a risk factor for the development of hypertension in a Black South African population.

Downregulation of beta2 adrenoreceptors (beta2AR) following stimulation with agonists is determined in part by variation at the...
