ADRB2 genotyping should not yet inform BP management; hypothesis-generating for age-specific effects in younger adults.
Do ADRB2 gene polymorphisms modulate blood pressure, cardiovascular structure, and metabolic risk factors in the general population?
ADRB2 gene polymorphisms do not have a major role in blood pressure modulation in the overall population, but age-dependent phenotypic effects are observable in younger individuals.
Castellano et al. (2003) studied this question.
