Polymorphisms within glutathione S-transferase genes and initial response to glucocorticoids in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
In children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treated according to protocols of the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) study group, the initial response to prednisone is the strongest predictor of therapy outcome. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been implicated in glucocorticoid resistance. In order to assess a potential association of phenotypically relevant GST polymorphisms with prednisone response...
