Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: UGT1A1 is a polymorphic enzyme that has been associated with irinotecan drug metabolisms. We developed a pyrosequencing method to detect allele frequency and genotype of UGT1A1 polymorphisms (UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6) in Thai colorectal cancer patients. METHOD: A pyrosequencing method was designed to determine UGT1A1 genetic polymorphisms including UGT1A1*28 (A[TA]7TAA) and UGT1A1*6 (211G>A) in 91 Thai...
