Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In heart failure, β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) stimulation desensitizes the receptor, uncouples the downstream Gαs protein, and diminishes signal transduction. We tested the hypotheses that haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) within the Gαs gene (GNAS) (i) are functionally active and alter Gαs expression, (ii) influence survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and...
