Abstract excerpt
Poor prednisone response predicts an inferior outcome in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) treatment protocols. Here, we investigated five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in both the coding and non-coding regions of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene, and analyzed their association with prednisone responsiveness in vivo in 63 pediatric patients with ALL in...
