Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human multidrug-resistant gene (MDR1) encodes P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a membrane-bound efflux transporter conferring resistance to a number of natural cytotoxic drugs and potentially toxic xenobiotics. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MDR1 gene are associated with phenotypic variation in Pgp expression levels of tissue. SNPs may alter the physiological protective role of Pgp and, therefore,...
