  • * Allelic frequencies are shown for the various adrenergic receptor subtypes. Data reported for subjects from the United States and Europe were assumed to represent Caucasian unless stated otherwise.

  • ** Several studies cited detected the Ser49Gly variant at >10% allelic frequency, but Podlowski et al., (2000) did not detect this variant.
