This paper reviews the effects of ADRB2 gene polymorphism on the efficacy of tocolytic therapy in preterm birth. Statistically, prematurity accounts for 70% to 75% of neonatal and infant mortality while stillbirths are 13 times more common in preterm birth compared to full-term birth. Despite modern diagnostic and treatment options to manage threatened preterm labor, its rate does not reduce. Meanwhile, pregnancy prolongation even by 48 hours is often enough to prevent newborn respiratory distress syndrome thereby improving perinatal outcomes, saving many lives of preterm babies, and preventing disability. That is why it is so important to initiate early maximally efficient and safe for a fetus tocolytic therapy aimed at prolonging the pregnancy. It was demonstrated that individual genetic variations determining intranatal phenotype exist. However, the associations between genetic characteristics and the rate of labor activity were currently demonstrated only for single genes. This is particularly true for a gene encoding β2-adrenergic receptors whose stimulation in the uterus and cervix by endogenous and exogenous agonists relaxes smooth muscles.
