Expression of nucleoside-metabolizing enzymes in myelodysplastic syndromes and modulation of response to azacitidine
6 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
The nucleoside analog azacitidine (AZA) is used in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), but 30-40% of patients fail to respond or relapse after treatment. Hence, to identify new molecular alterations that allow for identification of patients unlikely to respond to AZA could impact the utility of this therapy. We determined the expression levels of genes involved in AZA metabolism: UCK1, UCK2, DCK,...
