Abstract excerpt
Cytidine deaminase (CDA) hydrolytically deaminates and irreversibly deactivates the chemotherapeutic agent cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), a deoxycytidine analog used for treatment of acute leukemias and lymphomas. To determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of CDA affected gene expression, we sequenced approximately 1.6 Kb upstream of the CDA translation initiation site and...
