Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoid resistance was investigated in human leukemic CCRF-CEM cells. A mutation (L753F), which renders the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) gene functionally hemizygous, was identified in all CEM-derived cell lines analyzed. Allele-specific PCR identified the same mutation in lymph node biopsy material from patient CEM cells. Given the correlation between hGR concentration and glucocorticoid...
