The frequencies of MDR1 G2677T/A GT, GA, TT+AA genotypes or T allele, MDR1 C3435T TT genotype, and T allele genotype frequencies were significantly increased in NS group.
The frequencies of MDR1 G2677T/A GT, GA, TT+AA genotypes or T allele, MDR1 C3435T TT genotype, and T allele genotype frequencies were significantly increased in NS group.
The synergistic effect of mutant genotypes of SNPs G2677T/A and C3435T in different combinations increase the risk of developing steroid resistance in patients with NS.
We undertook this study to examine the distribution of three most frequent MDR-1 exonic polymorphisms G3435C, G2677T/A and C1236T in patients with NS and control children to investigate their usefulness as markers of responsiveness of the disease to steroids.
