Abstract excerpt
P glycoprotein, the product of multidrug resistance (mdr1) gene, is frequently expressed in advanced myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with an excess of bone marrow blasts and could explain their frequent resistance to chemotherapy. P53 gene mutations are also found in 10 to 15% of advanced MDS. Because it has recently been suggested that normal p53 suppressed, but that mutated p53 activated, the mdr1 gene...
