Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in folylpoly-γ-glutamate synthase (FPGS), which catalyzes the polyglutamation of pemetrexed (PEM), is related to FPGS expression and the response to PEM in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We first examined FPGS protein expressions according to FPGS SNPs genotype groups in 15 lung adenocarcinoma...
