Abstract excerpt
The multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encodes P-glycoprotein, which confers resistance to antineoplastic drugs, but also affects the kinetic disposition of certain drugs and carcinogens. The C3435T polymorphism of the MDR1 gene may influence the transport and excretion of carcinogens, increasing the risk of cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between this polymorphism and the risk of...
