Abstract excerpt
AIM: Cytarabine (Ara-C), a mainstay of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment, is a prodrug requiring activation to ara-CTP for its antileukemic activity. Aim of this study was to evaluate impact of genetic variants in the key genes involved in ara-C metabolism on the leukemic cell intracellular levels of ara-CTP. METHOD: We investigated SNPs in 14 ara-C metabolic-pathway genes, for association with intracellular...
