Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The MDR1 gene encodes P-glycoprotein (PGP), which plays an important role in mediating multidrug resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene may have an impact on the expression and function of PGP, thereby influencing the response to chemotherapy. METHODS: We investigated the potential association of MDR1 polymorphisms (2677G>T at exon 21 and 3435C>T at exon 26) and their...
