Recent pharmacogenetic studies on irinotecan have revealed the impact of UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1*28 on severe irinotecan toxicities. Although the clinical role of UGT1A1*6, which is specifically detected in East Asian patients, in irinotecan toxicities is suggested, clear evidence remains limited. To examine the impact of *6, the association of UGT1A1 genotypes with severe irinotecan toxicities was...
