Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 gene predict the risk of severe neutropenia of irinotecan.

TL;DR: UGT1A1 genotype and total bilirubin levels are strongly associated with severe neutropenia, and could be used to identify cancer patients predisposed to the severe toxicity of irinotecan.
Journal ArticleDOI

UGT1A1*28 polymorphism as a determinant of irinotecan disposition and toxicity

TL;DR: It is suggested that screening for UGT1A1*28 polymorphism may identify patients with lower SN-38 glucuronidation rates and greater susceptibility to irinotecan induced gastrointestinal and bone marrow toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic predisposition to the metabolism of irinotecan (CPT-11). Role of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase isoform 1A1 in the glucuronidation of its active metabolite (SN-38) in human liver microsomes.

TL;DR: Findings indicate a genetic predisposition to the metabolism of irinotecan, suggesting that patients with low UGT1A1 activity, such as those with Gilbert's syndrome, may be at an increased risk for irinOTecan toxicity.
Journal Article

Epirubicin glucuronidation is catalyzed by human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7

TL;DR: The reported tyrosine to histidine polymorphism in UGT2B7 does not alter the formation rate of epirubicin glucuronide, and undiscovered genetic polymorphisms in U GT2 B7 might change the metabolic fate of this important anticancer agent.
