Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We assessed the association between Gln27Glu and Trp64Arg genetic polymorphisms of the beta(2) (ADRB2) and beta(3) (ADRB3) adrenergic receptor genes with body mass index and other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, adult Aymara subjects (n = 152) living in the Andean regions of northern Chile were characterized with respect to their ADRB2 and ADRB3 genotypes, body mass...
