Abstract excerpt
To evaluate whether the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) are related to the toxicity of methotrexate (MTX) used in allogeneic stem cell transplantation, we performed association analysis between these genetic polymorphisms and the clinical outcomes of patients treated using human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling stem cell transplantation. Patients (n=72) with...
