Abstract excerpt
Beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists are utilized for the management of several cardiac diseases in the dog. In humans the beneficial effects of beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists are variable and are associated with a genetic variability in the beta one adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB1). To determine if DNA variants were present in the canine ADRB1 gene, DNA from five breeds of dogs was evaluated. Two deletions...
