Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) is known for its involvement in the detoxification through the active transport of toxic compounds from diverse origins outside the cells. These compounds could cause injury to cell DNA, which might lead in cancer like chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Individual inherited genetic differences related to polymorphism in detoxification enzymes could be an important factor not only...
