Abstract excerpt
High expression of cellular asparagine synthetase (AS) is a causative factor for the resistance of leukemic cell to L-asparaginase therapy. This study was aimed to find single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in the promotor region of asparagine synthetase (AS) gene and to determine if these SNPs have influence on the transcriptional activity of AS promotor. The DNA sequences of AS promoter (pAS) from 82 leukemic...
