Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identification of the genetic basis of asthma may contribute to the discovery of effective asthma drugs. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to estimate the association between B2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) polymorphisms and nocturnal asthma in Egyptian children. METHODS: ADRB2 polymorphisms Gly16 and Glu27 were genotyped in 200 Egyptian children (90 with nocturnal asthma and 110 healthy controls) using...
