OBJECTIVE: The human beta2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene is a candidate for contributing to the pathophysiology of essential hypertension. The aims of the present study were to investigate the associations of differing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the ADRB2 gene promoter and coding regions with essential hypertension in genetically homogeneous Hani and Yi minority groups that are...
