Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In the present work, the frequency of inherited polymorphisms of the beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) gene and their association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as well as human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles was examined. METHODS: An allele-specific polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the common variants of the beta2AR at positions 16, 27 and 164 in patients with RA (n=310) and...
