polymorphism: B2 Adrenergic Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Bronchial Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The b2-adrenoceptor (b2AR) mediates the physiological responses in the airway, which include bronchodilation, bronchoprotection. The b2-adrenoceptor (b2AR) mediates the physiological responses in the airway, which include bronchodilation, bronchoprotection, Enhanced mucociliary clearance.
The b2AR gene is located on chromosome 5q31-q32, a region that is genetically linked to asthma and related phenotypes. There are three best known polymorphisms in the coding region of the b2AR gene that can modulate the function of the receptor.

Detailed Description
Asthma is a complex disease and has a strong genetic component in its pathogenesis. So far, considerable efforts have been made to evaluate the association between genetic variants and asthma risk, and numerous genes have been identified as asthma Reporting Items susceptible genes.
