Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the product of MDR1 gene, is a protein which mediates transmembrane transport of a great number of xenobiotics including cyclosporin A used as an immunosuppressive drug in patients with allogenic kidney grafts. The P-gp activity and expression is dependent on the MDR1 gene polymorphism in position C3435T of exon 26. In this study, C3435T polymorphism was analyzed in 116 patients with...
