Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P-glycoprotein MDR1 gene on vincristine pharmacokinetics and side effects in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. METHODS: From 52 of 70 children who participated in a previous study on vincristine pharmacokinetics, patient material was available for investigation of the MDR1 genetic variants. The SNPs...
