The aim of this study was to investigate the potential involvement of the ABCB1 gene exon 26 3435C>T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the genetic susceptibility to AML and regulation of P-gp expression and activity in AML cells.
In this study we describe the genotyping of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism by melting curve analysis with the LightCycler in a case-controlled study of patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), myelogenous leukemia (AML), and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and assess the effect of this common polymorphism on the leukemia risk in adult patients in Turkey.
