Abstract excerpt
The human equilibrative nucleoside transporter, ENT1, appears to play a critical role in the disposition of nucleosides and nucleoside analogs used clinically as anti-viral and anti-cancer drugs. Recently, we identified variants of ENT1 in an ethnically diverse DNA sample set from 247 individuals, focusing primarily on the coding region. The goal of the present study was to analyse the haplotype structure and...
