[α-2β-adrenoreceptor gene polymorphism in patients with disorders of cardiac conduction].

The article is devoted to the role of insertion-deletion polymorphism of -2-adrenoreceptor gene in development of hereditary disorders of cardiac conduction. We examined 71 patients with atrioventricular blocks and 92 patients with sick sinus node syndrome. Statistically significant preponderance of homozygous genotype DD of ADRA2B gene was found in both groups. Associations of alleles with male or female gender were also revealed.
