Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of posaconazole is mediated mainly by uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes, especially UGT1A4. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of genetic polymorphisms on the posaconazole plasma concentration (PPC). This prospective study was conducted from September 2014 to August 2016. We enrolled patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome treated...
