We hypothesised that the polymorphisms of the genes encoding for beta1- and the beta2-adrenoceptors may have a role in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF). We therefore compared the polymorphisms of the beta1-adrenoceptor gene (Arg389Gly), the beta2-adrenoceptor gene (Arg16Gly, Gln27Glu) and their combinations in patients with HF and normal subjects living in the same area.
