Association between the genetic polymorphisms of ?_2-adrenergic receptor and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of ?_2-adrenergic receptor and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods Allele specific-PCR technique was used to determine 16、27 locos of ?_2-AR genetic polymorphism in 64 unrelated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 31 healthy controls in the Department of Respiratory Medicine,People's Hospital of Gui zhou province from Mar.2003 to Apr.2004.Results In COPD group and the healthy group the frequency of Gln/Gln genotype of ?_2-AR 27 locus was 42.86%and 19.35%respectively.It showed significantly difference between them(P
