Similarly, the genotype distribution of 3435C>T and 2677G>T/A SNPs was not significantly different between Polish and Bosnian patients with CD (p > 0.05).
Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), C3435T and G2677T/A, thought to alter the function of the corresponding P-glycoprotein, have shown inconsistent associations with CD.
To investigate the contribution of multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene pharmacogenetics (G2677T/A and C3435T) to the efficacy of azathioprine in inducing remission in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
No significant difference was observed for genotype frequencies for both MDR1 G2677T/A and C3435T polymorphisms on overall disease susceptibility for either CD or UC patients compared with control subjects.
The polymorphism Ala893Ser/Thr (G2677T/A) previously showed significant association with Crohn's disease (CD) and the Ile1145Ile (C3435T) with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Two polymorphisms (C3435T and G2677T/A) of the multidrug resistance 1 gene have been correlated with the altered P-glycoprotein expression and function in humans, and associated with predisposition to ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
This was a case-control analysis of MDR1 C3435T and G2677T SNPs in a large well-characterized Scottish white cohort (335 with ulcerative colitis [UC], 268 with Crohn's disease [CD], and 370 healthy controls).
