Relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes in DPYD and toxicity and efficacy of capecitabine in advanced colorectal cancer

TL;DR: The coding region of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase gene (DPYD) was sequenced in 45 cases with grade 3 or more capecitabine-related toxicity and in 100 randomly selected controls and eight SNPs were detected in the case–cohort analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes (CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, GSTA1, GSTP1, ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1) on the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the presently evaluated variant alleles in the CYP2B6, CyP2C9, CYP3A4, CYp3A5, GSTA1, GSTP1, ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1 genes do not explain the interindividual variability in cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamate pharmacokinetics and are, probably, not the cause of the observed variability in toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative analysis of human papillomavirus infections in cervical scrapes and biopsy specimens by general SPF10 PCR and HPV genotyping

TL;DR: Analysis of cervical scrapes accurately reflects the spectrum of HPV genotypes in the patient's cervical region, even with a sampling interval between the cervical scrape and the biopsy specimen.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of the relations between polymorphisms in drug metabolising enzymes and drug transporters and survival after cancer drug treatment

TL;DR: The most important polymorphisms shown to influence survival after cancer treatment are polymorphisms in the genes encoding the phase II detoxification enzymes glutathione-S-transferases, and it appears that GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null have a clear association with longer overall survival in patients with different malignancies who are treated with substrates for these GSTs.
