Abstract excerpt
Cardiotoxicity is a therapeutic challenge for anthracycline-based treatments for solid tumors and leukemia. Genome-wide association studies have revealed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in the SLC28A3 locus (encoding Concentrative Nucleoside Transporter 3, CNT3) are significantly associated with reduced doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. However, the mechanistic understanding of the functional effects of...
