Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Clinical studies show that Asians (ASN) are more susceptible to toxicities associated with platinum-containing regimens. We hypothesized that studying ASN as an 'enriched phenotype' population could enable the discovery of novel genetic determinants of platinum susceptibility. METHODS: Using well-genotyped lymphoblastoid cell lines from the HapMap, we determined cisplatin and carboplatin cytotoxicity...
