Core Tip	The study explored the influence of beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) polymorphism and the response of esophageal variceal pressure to chronic treatment with propranolol. The originality was that we associated the polymorphism to the measurement of variceal pressure and considered the response to propranolol administration. We found that the variceal pressure response to propranolol was associated with β2-AR gene polymorphisms, and that the patients with the Gly16-Glu/Gln27 homozygotes seem to benefit more from propranolol therapy.
