95068-3
LaboratoryADRB2 gene targeted mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This test detects polymorphisms, such as Gly16Arg (rs1042713) and Gln27Glu (rs1042714), in the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene. These polymorphisms are associated with bronchodilator responsiveness in asthma.
