Bim Polymorphisms: Influence on Function and Response to Treatment in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
2 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Corticosteroids induce apoptosis in the malignant lymphoid cells and are critical component of combination therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Several genome-wide microarray studies showed major implication of proapoptotic Bim in mediating corticosteroid-related resistance in leukemia cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We investigated Bim gene polymorphisms and their association with childhood ALL...
