Abstract excerpt
Methotrexate (MTX), a folate antagonist employed for treating a wide range of malignancies, has an extensive interpatient variability, resulting in unpredictable toxicity. The present study evaluated the impact of single gene polymorphisms (SNPs: rs1801133 and rs1801131 in the MTHFR gene; rs4149056 and rs11045879 in the SLC01B1 gene; and rs2032582 and in the ABCB1 transporter gene) on MTX blood levels...
