Beta-2-adrenergic receptor polymorphisms in cystic fibrosis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease affecting the lung, pancreas, gut, liver, and reproductive tract, is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a cyclic adenosine 3', 5' monophosphate-regulated chloride channel.
