Polimorfismos en el gen de la Dihidrofolato Reductasa y respuesta al Metotrexato en Leucemia Linfoblástica aguda en México
Resumen
The presence of polymorphisms in regulatory regions causes increased expression of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and it is associated with methotrexate (MTX) treatment adverse events. A case control study was conducted on 70 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 140 children without disease.
