Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The adenosine pathway is one of the ways through which methotrexate (MTX) ameliorates inflammation. We therefore explored an association of polymorphism of genes involved in adenosine and MTX metabolic pathways with response to MTX. METHODS: Association of polymorphism in 7 genes (rs2236225 [MTHFD1 1958G>A], rs17602729 [AMPD1 G>A], rs1127354 [ITPA C>A], rs1431131 [TGFBR2 A>T], rs2372536 [ATIC C>G],...
