The objective of the study was to evaluate the role of beta1-adrenergic receptor gene polymorphisms (Ser49Gly and Arg389Gly) as susceptibility markers for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) in Mexican patients. The polymorphisms were analyzed in 47 patients with IDC and 93 ethnically matched healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The Ser49Gly allele and genotype frequencies were similar in patients and healthy controls. On the other hand, the analysis of the Arg389Gly polymorphism showed an increased frequencies of the *Gly allele (pC = 0.022, OR = 2.16) and *Arg/*Gly genotype (pC = 0.027, OR = 2.70) in the group of IDC patients when compared to healthy controls. The data suggest that Arg389Gly polymorphism could be involved in the genetic susceptibility to develop IDC in Mexicans.
