In this study, we examined the association between polymorphisms 3435 C/T and 1236 C/T in the ABCB1 gene and breast cancer development in Mexican women according to their menopausal status and molecular classification.
Whether ABCB1 polymorphisms including T-129C, A61G, C1236T, G2677T/A and C3435T polymorphisms could account for variations in the disposition of docetaxel and whether menopausal status at the time of diagnosis might interact with this effect were analysed in women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer (n=86).
