title: C825T G-protein beta3 subunit gene polymorphism, tilt test results and point score in syncopal patients.
abstract: We evaluated C825T polymorphism of the G-protein beta3 subunit gene in syncopal patients in regard to tilting results and the diagnostic point score (PS). In a multivariate analysis, only PS > or = -2 was associated with positive passive tilting (P < 0.05). The relationship between tilting results and this polymorphism needs further study.
