Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The polymorphism Arg16 in β2 -adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene has been associated with an increased risk of exacerbations in asthmatic children treated with long-acting β2 -agonists (LABA). However, it remains unclear whether this increased risk is mainly attributed to this single variant or the combined effect of the haplotypes of polymorphisms at codons 16 and 27. OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether the...
