The insertion/deletion variation in the α<sub>2B</sub>-adrenoceptor does not seem to modify the risk for acute myocardial infarction, but may modify the risk for hypertension in sib-pairs from families with type 2 diabetes

The insertion/deletion variation in the α<sub>2B</sub>-adrenoceptor does not seem to modify the risk for acute myocardial infarction, but may modify the risk for hypertension in sib-pairs from families with type 2 diabetes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the α<sub>2B</sub>-adrenoceptor (AR) has been associated with the risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sudden cardiac death. In this study we tested whether this polymorphis...
