Abstract excerpt
Despite the excellent efficacy of imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the response in patients is heterogeneous, which may in part be caused by pharmacogenetic variability. Imatinib has been reported to be a substrate of the P-glycoprotein pump. In the current study, we focused on the ABCB1 (MDR1) genotype. We analyzed the 3 most relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms of MDR1 in 90 CML patients treated...
