Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite acceptable results of imatinib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), some patients fail to acquire a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), which may be caused by polymorphisms in the pharmacogenetic genes. The study aimed to evaluate the association of two polymorphisms in the ABCB1 and ABCG2 genes with cytogenetic response to imatinib and the risk of CML development. METHODS: We...
