TAS2R38 Haplotype Predicts 24-Hour Urinary Sodium Excretion in Patients With Heart Failure and Their Family Caregivers.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study partially supported our hypothesis that PAV homozygous haplotype predicts 24-hour urinary sodium excretion. With our small sample size, more research is needed. Understanding genetic influences on taste can lead to development of educational interventions tailored to patients with HF and their family caregivers to better support dietary adherence.
