Abstract excerpt
A C825T polymorphism has been described in the GNB3 gene which encodes the Gbeta3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. The GNB3 825T allele is predictive of enhanced Gi protein activation. This study was performed to correlate genotypes of the C825T polymorphism with various clinical aspects of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL). The GNB3 genotype distribution in B-CLL patients was similar to that in other...
