Abstract excerpt
Thymidylate synthase (TS) is an essential enzyme in proliferating cells and an important target for several chemotherapeutics. Several TS gene polymorphisms correlate with variable TS expression: a double (2R) and triple (3R) 28-bp repeat element, a G to C substitution of the 3R allele and a 6 bp variation in 3'UTR. We have previously shown that childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients who are...
