Polymorphisms and haplotypes in the multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1/ABCB1) and risk of multiple myeloma.

Abstract excerpt

MDR1(ABCB1) gene encodes for P-glycoprotein (P-gp, MDR1, ABCB1), an ATP-binding cassette superfamily member involved in the transport of xenobiotics. Here, we investigated whether common MDR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (1236C>T, 2677G>A/T and 3435C>T) affect predisposition to multiple myeloma. Genotyping was performed in 111 myeloma patients and 96 controls by PCR-based assays. Haplotypes were inferred using...
