Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To search for an association between the Glu27Gln (rs1042714; B27) and the Arg16Gly (rs1042713; B16) polymorphisms of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene and obesity. METHODS: Meta-analysis of published studies, included if subjects were genotyped at either codon 27 ("B27") or codon 16 ("B16") of the ADRB2 gene and both obese and nonobese subjects were selected, based on a reported cutoff BMI...
