Resistance to established drugs for cancer therapy is in many cases associated with overexpression of the multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR-1). Regulation of basal expression of MDR-1 and mechanisms of induction as a result of exposure to cytotoxic substances are still not completely understood. Recent reports have suggested an association of the C3435T polymorphism in exon 26 of the MDR-1 gene with MDR-1...
