Objective: The aim of this study was to explore β2-adrenoceptor (ADRB2) haplotype associations with phenotypes and quantitative traits related to insulin resistance (IR) and the metabolic syndrome (MS) in a polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) population. A secondary purpose was to assess the association between ADRB2 haplotype and PCOS.
Design: Genetic polymorphism analysis. Cross-sectional case-control association study.
Setting: Medical University Hospital and research laboratory.
Patients: One hundred and sixty-five unrelated women with PCOS and 116 unrelated women without PCOS (control sample).
Measurements: Clinical and biochemical measurements, and ADRB2 genotyping in PCOS patients and control subjects.
Methods: ADRB2 haplotypes (comprising rs1042711, rs1801704, rs1042713 and rs1042714 in that order), genotyping and statistical analysis to evaluate associations with continuous variables and traits related to IR and MS in a PCOS population. Associations between ADRB2 haplotypes and PCOS were also assessed.
Results: We observed an age-adjusted association between ADRB2 haplotype CCGG and lower insulin (P = 0·018) and HOMA (P = 0·008) in the PCOS sample. Interestingly, the expected differences in surrogate measures of IR between cases and controls were not significant in CCGG/CCGG carriers. In the case-control study, genotype CCGG/CCGG was associated with a 14% decrease in PCOS risk (P = 0·043), taking into account confounding variables.
Conclusions: Haplotype I (CCGG) has a protective role for IR and MS in PCOS.

Animal domestication, climate changes over time, and artificial selection have played significant roles in shaping the genome structure of various animal species, including cattle. These processes have led to the emergence of several indigenous cattle breeds with distinct genetic characteristics. This study focused on unraveling the genetic diversity and identifying candidate genomic regions in eight indigenous cattle breeds of Iran.

Introduction: The bronchodilator response (BDR) depends on many factors, including genetic ones. Numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influencing BDR have been identified. However, despite several studies in this field, genetic variations are not currently being utilized to support the use of bronchodilators.

Methods and Results In a case-control study, we recruited 953 patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction without previous cardiac history, 477 with primary VF, and 476 controls without VF, and genotyped them for Arg389Gly and Ser49Gly, Gln27Glu and Gly16Arg, and Ins322-325Del. Within each minor allele-containing genotype, haplotype, or 2-genotype combination, patients with incident VF were compared with non-VF controls by odds ratios (OR) of variant frequencies referenced against major allele homozygotes.

Background: Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are heterogenetic diseases and exhibit many similarities. Dutch hypothesis proposed that these two diseases may have common genetic origins. This study aims to investigate whether asthma and COPD share a common genetic background in Chinese patients.

Rationale: To evaluate whether common nonsynonymous variants [single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or SNP haplotypes] in the β2-adrenergic receptor render subjects more susceptible to norepinephrine-induced immunosuppression and whether they are associated with dysregulated ex vivo and in vivo inflammatory responses.
Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers (main cohort: n = 106, secondary cohort: n = 408) were ex vivo stimulated with various stimuli and production of cytokines was assessed. Additionally, ex vivo modulation of cytokine production by norepinephrine was evaluated in the main cohort.
