Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) exhibits significant inter-patient variability in response to and toxicity from methotrexate (MTX). The clinical utility of erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates (MTXPGs) and MTX-pathway pharmacogenetics remains uncertain. This study investigates the relationships between MTX-pathway gene polymorphisms, erythrocyte MTXPG levels, and MTX treatment outcomes in RA. In a single-center,...
