Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins are a superfamily of efflux pumps implicated as a mechanism for multidrug resistance in cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunosuppressive therapy, HIV and epilepsy. Genetic variation in P-glycoprotein, the product of the ABCB1 gene, is proposed to mediate de novo drug resistance, but associations between polymorphisms in ABCB1 and pharmacoresistance have produced...
