Do genetic polymorphisms alter patient response to inhaled bronchodilators?
7 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Short- and long-acting β agonists (SABA and LABA) are bronchodilators for treating asthma. Bronchodilator response (BDR) is quantified by measuring air expired in the first second during a forced expiratory maneuver, prior to and following inhalation of SABA. BDR has been associated with a significant degree of heterogeneity, in part attributable to genetic variation. Heritability, the proportion of...
