Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to identify novel pharmacogenetic determinants of treatment-related hepatotoxicity during the maintenance phase in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). Although the authors first determined whether genotypes of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters--glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes, GSTM1 positive/null, GSTT1 positive/null and...
