Polymorphisms of genes encoding proteins involved in drug metabolism can influence the efficacy of leukemia treatment. In this population-wide study we aimed to evaluate selected, metabolically active genetic polymorphisms as prognostic markers of treatment efficacy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A total of 51 cases of leukemia relapse were diagnosed in a group of 354 patients with ALL. A strong...
