Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2, ABCC2) plays an important role in the biliary clearance of a wide variety of endogenous and exogenous toxic compounds. Therefore, polymorphisms and mutations in the MRP2 gene may affect individual susceptibility to hepatotoxic reactions. METHODS: Associations between genetic variations of MRP2 and toxic hepatitis were investigated using integrated population...
