Association of MTHFR and ABCB1 polymorphisms with MTX-induced mucositis in Chinese paediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, lymphoma or osteosarcoma-A retrospective cohort study.

Abstract excerpt

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: MTX pharmacology and toxicity involve several metabolizing enzymes and transporters whose functions have been suggested to be altered by genetic polymorphisms. The current study is to investigate the relationship between the genetic variation and MTX-induced adverse drug effects. METHODS: A total of 80 paediatric patients (aged 1-14 years) were enrolled in this study. Toxicity was...
