Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ABCB1 gene encodes P-glycoprotein implicated in the development of cellular drug resistance. The aim of this study was to develop high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis for determination of ABCB1 polymorphisms and evaluate their associations with clinical data of breast carcinoma patients. METHODS: HRM analysis was designed to assess five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ABCB1 (rs2214102,...
