Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in genes coding for imatinib transporters and metabolizing enzymes may affect imatinib pharmacokinetics and clinical response. Aim of this study was to assess the influence of polymorphisms in MDR1 and CYP3A5 genes on imatinib trough levels, cytogenetic and molecular response in patients with CML. Newly diagnosed patients with chronic-phase CML started on imatinib therapy were enrolled and followed...
