Abstract excerpt
The expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the MDR1 gene, is an independent adverse prognostic factor for response and survival in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Little is known about MDR1 expression during the development of disease. The present study investigated whether MDR1 gene- related clonal selection occurs in the development from diagnosis to relapsed AML, using a genetic polymorphism of...
