Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of two β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) polymorphisms (Arg16Gly, Gln27Glu) with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) associated with thymus abnormality. METHODS: Among the 74 MG patients in analysis, 24 cases were associated with thymoma, 40 cases with thymic hyperplasia, 12 with normal thymus. The genotypes of β2-AR in 76 MG (MGG) and 75 age and gender-matched healthy controls (HCG)...
