Abstract excerpt
The beta1-adrenoceptor plays a crucial role in the regulation of myocardial contractility and heart rate. A functionally important polymorphism at codon 389 has been associated with heart failure and hypertension. The conventional method of detecting this polymorphism is a PCR-assay followed by digestion with specific restriction enzyme (PCR-RFLP) polymorphism. We aimed to establish an alternative, fast...
