Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is a key conjugating enzyme of bilirubin and the anti-tumor medication irinotecan. Comprehensive analysis of UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms may provide benefit by predicting pharmacokinetics and outcomes of treatment with irinotecan and certain antiviral medications. METHODS: A high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis was designed to characterize the...
