Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In humans, beta(2)-adrenergic receptors (beta(2)ARs) influence airway tone. There are known functional polymorphisms of the beta(2)AR, such as substitution of glycine for arginine at codon 16. We sought to determine if this variation in genotype differentially influences airway functi...
