Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Asthma is caused by complex interactions between multiple genes. β2-Agonist is the standard rescue treatment to relieve asthma symptoms and bronchoconstriction.

This study investigated the relationship between asthma and bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) and eight asthma genes. METHODS: Fifteen...
