Abstract excerpt
The beta2-adrenergic receptor (B2AR or ADRB2) is the target of beta2-agonist drugs used for bronchodilation in asthma and other respiratory diseases. The gene for this receptor (ADRB2) contains numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) some of which may be of pharmacogenetic relevance, although a consistent picture of genotype-phenotype relationships has yet to emerge. Recently, 12 distinct haplotypes of...
