Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of polymorphisms in the beta(2) and beta(3) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)-ADR and beta(3)-ADR) genes with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS: The genotypes and alleles of beta(2)-ADR and beta(3)-ADR genes were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism assay in 318 unrelated subjects of North region Han...
