Polymorphisms of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor Correlated to Nocturnal Asthma and the Response of Terbutaline Nebulizer

Inhaled β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonists are the mainstay of treatment of acute asthma. Polymorphisms of the β2-AR, especially codons 16, 27, and 164, may affect the functions of the receptor.
