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. In this narrative review, the possible impact of genetic variants on BDR is discussed. Pharmacogenetic studies of β 2 -agonists have mainly focused on ADRB2 gene. Three SNPs, A46G, C79G, and C491T, have functional significance. However, other uncommon variants may contribute to individual variability in salbutamol response. SNPs haplotypes in ADRB2 may have a role. Many variants in gene coding for muscarinic ACh receptor (mAChR) have been reported, particularly in the M 2  and, to a lesser degree, M 3  mAChRs, but no consistent evidence for a pharmacological relevance of these SNPs has been reported. Moreover, there is a link between SNPs and ethnic and/or age profiles regarding BDR. Nevertheless, replication of pharmacogenetic results is limited and often, BDR is dissociated from what is expected based on SNP identification. Pharmacogenetic studies on bronchodilators must continue. However, they must integrate data derived from a multi-omics approach with epigenetic factors that may modify BDR.
