Abstract excerpt
Resistance to glucocorticoids (GCs) is a tricky problem in therapy for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). As GCs exert their effects through glucocorticoid receptor (GR), being a GR gene, NR3C1 is thought to connect with individual differences in GC responsiveness during GCs treatments. We analyzed the frequency of three novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NR3C1 in ITP patients and evaluated the role of...
