1 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Objective Variants in the SLCO 1B1 gene, encoding a hepatic methotrexate ( MTX ) transporter, affect clearance of high‐dose MTX . We tested whether in the *14 and *15 alleles of SLCO 1B1 influenced the response to low‐dose MTX in juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA ) patients. Methods The study included 310 JIA patients genotyped for three single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNP s) in SLCO 1B1 (rs4149056,...
