Impact of the Arg 16 Allele of the B2AR Gene on the Effect of Withdrawal of LABA in Patients with Moderate to Severe Asthma.

CONCLUSIONS: Withdrawal of LABA therapy in asthmatics with the Arg/Arg genotype at the 16(th) amino acid position of B2AR did not lead to significant improvement in AM PEFR. LABA withdrawal in the Gly/Gly genotype however led to a borderline significant decline in AM PEFR. PMID: 27050801 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
