- Abstract
Reports on a study conducted by researchers in Germany, which tested the hypothesis that blood pressure responses to physical and mental stress are associated with polymorphisms in the β-2 adrenergic receptor gene. Use of allele-specific polymerase chain reaction in genotyping four single nucleotide polymorphisms in the β-2 adrenergic receptor gene; Association of the most functionally relevant polymorphism in the β-2 adrenergic receptor gene, Arg16/Gly with systolic and diastolic blood pressure under resting conditions, during mental arithmetic and during the cold pressor test.
