Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Genetic variation of the beta2-adrenoceptor (ADRB2) influences receptor function in vitro. There are reports that, in vivo, bronchodilator response is related to ADRB2 genotype, and that clinical outcomes during chronic therapy with beta2-agonist drugs are also influenced by genotype. Whether these features are related to single nucleotide polymorphisms or to combinations (haplotypes) is unclear....
