Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To analyze the association of haplotypes of the adrenergic system with essential hypertension and with the blood pressure response to beta-blockers. MATERIALS & METHODS: In 1112 never-treated essential hypertension patients and 203 normotensive controls, tightly linked SNPs of beta-adrenergic receptors (ADRB1 - Ser49Gly and Arg389Gly; ADRB2 - Cys19Arg, Gly16Arg and Gln27Glu) and the G-protein beta3-subunit...
