Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bitter taste receptors (TAS2R) in human airway smooth muscle have recently been shown to have an important role in bronchodilation, together with β2-adrenergic receptors. OBJECT: To evaluate the association between genetic variations in TAS2R and clinical features, including bronchodilator response and asthma control. METHOD: We analyzed the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
