Infectious complications after chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma: implications of Fc gamma receptor and myeloperoxidase promoter polymorphisms.

Abstract excerpt

Multiple myeloma is associated with a high risk of infections. We hypothesized that Fc gamma receptor (FCGR) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) promoter gene polymorphisms influence the risk of infections after induction chemotherapy (IC) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Retrospectively, we analysed 136 patient courses of IC and 113 procedures of ASCT. Genetic analyses were made with PCR techniques on...
