Abstract excerpt
CCND1 plays a key role in cell cycle progression and may cause methotrexate (MTX) resistance, as well as its cytotoxicity. CCND1 870A variant allele is associated with altered transcripts of this gene. We hypothesized that this polymorphism may contribute to the elimination rate and hepatotoxicity of MTX in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We genotyped the CCND1 G870A polymorphism in 125 childhood...
