Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest a role for the multidrug resistance gene (ABCB1/MDR1) and its product, P-glycoprotein 170, in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In addition, P-glycoprotein activity determines bioavailability of many drugs used regularly in many medical specialties, and ABCB/MDR1 variation appears to be a critical pharmacogenetic determinant. We have utilized a gene-wide...
