- Title

- Abstract
The article discusses a study which examined the association between the Glu27GIn and the Arg16Gly polymorphisms of the β2-adrenergic receptor gene and obesity. Results showed that the frequency of Glu27 allele carrriers ranged from 6.71% in Aymara American Indians to 78.29% in a Dutch population. The summary odds ratio revealed no association between either rs1042714 or rs1043713 and obesity.
