Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: P-glycoprotein (Pgp), encoded by the multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene, is an efflux transporter which plays an important role in pharmacokinetics. The current preliminary study was designed to determine associations between a germ-line polymorphism in the MDR1 gene with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the current case-control study, 60 differentiated thyroid cancers...
