Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive Pharmacogenetic Analysis of Irinotecan Neutropenia and Pharmacokinetics

TL;DR: Common polymorphisms in genes encoding for ABC and SLC transporters may have a significant impact on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CPT-11.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacogenetics of outcome in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

TL;DR: Patients in the HR group with the glutathione S-transferase non-null genotype had greater risk of hematologic relapse, which was further increased by the thymidylate synthetase 3/3 genotype, and these genotypes remained predictive in multivariate analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Laboratories Collaborate to Resolve Differences in Variant Interpretations Submitted to ClinVar

TL;DR: Participating laboratories increased their overall concordance from 88.3 to 91.7%, indicating that sharing variant interpretations in ClinVar—thereby allowing identification of differences and motivation to resolve those differences—is critical to moving toward more consistent variant interpretations.
Journal ArticleDOI

BRCA1 promoter methylation in sporadic breast cancer is associated with reduced BRCA1 copy number and chromosome 17 aneusomy.

TL;DR: The data support a model of carcinogenesis in which BRCA1 promoter methylation may serve as a "first hit," much like an inherited germ line mutation, and promote tumor progression down a restricted set of molecular pathways.
