Abstract excerpt
The human beta(2)-adrenoceptor (beta(2)-AR) is subject to agonist-induced down-regulation. The degree of down-regulation is associated with certain single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) through yet unknown mechanisms. The 5'-leader sequence of the beta(2)-AR gene contains several SNPs that are in strong linkage disequilibrium. The -367 T/C polymorphism, in particular, has been shown to affect transcriptional...
