Allelic variants of the MDR-1 gene have been shown recently to influence protein expression and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function in healthy volunteers. Therefore, 405 acute myeloid leukemia patients were investigated for somatic genotypes of the three most frequent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exons 12, 21, and 26. In all three loci, homozygous wild-type alleles were classified as genotype A,...
