Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase 1 family, A1 (UGT1A1) encodes for an enzyme that is a part of glucuronidation pathway, and a number of studies have shown that the promoter polymorphisms of UGT1A1 are associated with various diseases and drug response. In this study, we examined a possible association between UGT1A1 promoter haplotypes and the gene expression level. METHODS: To identify...
