Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bioavailability of tacrolimus (Tac) and cyclosporine is determined by cytochrome P450IIIA and by P-glycoprotein encoded by the CYP3A4/CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genes. Polymorphisms in these genes have been suggested to influence acute rejection and pharmacokinetics in renal transplantation. We aimed to validate these findings in a haplotype analysis. METHODS: A total of 832 renal transplant recipients were...
