Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytarabine arabinoside (Ara-C) has been the core of chemotherapy for adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Ara-C undergoes a three-step phosphorylation into the active metabolite Ara-C triphosphosphate (ara-CTP). Several enzymes are involved directly or indirectly in either the formation or detoxification of ara-CTP. METHODS: A total of 12 eQTL (expression Quantitative Trait Loci) single nucleotide...
