Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A four-amino acid deletion was identified within the alpha 2C-adrenergic receptor (alpha 2C Del322-325) that, when homozygous, increases the risk of heart failure in African-Americans nearly six-fold. We hypothesised that homozygosity for the alpha 2C Del322-325 polymorphism may be a...
