Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analogue with activity against solid tumors. Gemcitabine metabolic inactivation is catalyzed by cytidine deaminase (CDA) or, after phosphorylation, by deoxycytidylate deaminase (DCTD). We set out to study the pharmacogenomics of CDA and DCTD. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The genes encoding CDA and DCTD were resequenced using DNA from 60 African American and 60 Caucasian American...
