Whole-Exome Sequencing Reveals Defective CYP3A4 Variants Predictive of Paclitaxel Dose-Limiting Neuropathy
15 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Paclitaxel, a widely used chemotherapeutic drug, can cause peripheral neuropathies leading to dose reductions and treatment suspensions and decreasing the quality of life of patients. It has been suggested that genetic variants altering paclitaxel pharmacokinetics increase neuropathy risk, but the major causes of interindividual differences in susceptibility to paclitaxel toxicity remain unexplained. We...
