Abstract excerpt
The aims of this study were: (1) to find associations of asthma with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the ADRB2 gene: Arg16Gly, Gln27Glu, -1023 G/A, -367 T/C, -47 C/T ; (2) to define linkage disequilibrium in the gene region, basing on the analyzed SNPs; and (3) to analyze the importance of ADRB2 polymorphism for response to bronchodilator drugs in children diagnosed with bronchial asthma. We...
