Association of ADRB2 gene polymorphisms and intestinal microbiota in Chinese Han adolescents

Abstract

Gut microbiota are closely related to health, and the β2-adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2) is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between ADRB2 gene polymorphisms and gut microbiota in Chinese Han adolescents. The relative abundance, diversity, and PICRUSt function predictions of male and female gut microbiomes differ significantly and that ADRB2 gene polymorphisms were associated with gut microbiome abundance in Chinese Han adolescents.
