Abstract excerpt
Cardiac beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1AR) responsiveness in heart failure exhibits interindividual variation that may be attributable to polymorphisms of the intronless beta1AR gene. We sought to ascertain the polymorphisms of the full-length gene and the specific combinations of polymorphisms (haplotypes) in two reference populations. Using whole-gene transfections, we established the impact of beta1AR...
