Genotype predictors of response to asthma medications.

Abstract excerpt

The search for the genetic basis of asthma and other allergic diseases has identified many candidate genes. Some of these genes have been investigated to determine whether they influence a person's response to asthma medication. Several studies have shown that polymorphisms in the beta 2 -adrenergic receptor gene influence responsiveness to beta-agonists. Polymorphisms in the 5-lipoxygenase gene and the...
