Polymorphisms within Beta2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) gene have been repeatedly linked to hypertension. Among the β2AR polymorphisms detected, Arg16Gly and Gln27Glu codons were considered the two most important variations. Arg16Gly especially, has been found to be significantly associated with hy...
