Abstract excerpt
Cytarabine arabinoside (ara-C) is an antimetabolite used to treat hematologic malignancies. Resistance is a common reason for treatment failure with adverse side effects contributing to morbidity and mortality. Identification of genetic factors important in susceptibility to ara-C cytotoxicity may allow for individualization of treatment. We used an unbiased whole-genome approach using lymphoblastoid cell lines...
