Abstract excerpt
Except for hereditary disease, genetic factors that contribute to the development of renal epithelial tumors are unknown. There is a possibility that the MDR1 encoded plasma membrane transporter P-glycoprotein (PGP) influences the risk of development of renal neoplasms. PGP is known to be involved in uptake, binding, transport, and distribution of xenobiotics. There is evidence that the MDR1(C3435T) polymorphism...
