Abstract excerpt
The relationship between β(2)-adrenoreceptor gene Arg16Gly polymorphism and bronchial cold reactivity has been studied. Genotype Arg16Arg and allele Arg16 carriership is associated with the development of cold bronchospasm in asthmatics. In addition, a significant reduction of 3,5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level has been recorded in Arg16Arg homozygotes on minute 30 after cold provocation in...
