BRCA1 rs1799966 minor allele C (TC+CC vs. TT, OR = 0.402, 95% CI = 0.204-0.794, p = 0.008) and MDR1/ABCB1 rs1045642 minor allele A (GA +AA vs. GG, OR = 0.478, 95% CI = 0.244-0.934, p = 0.030) were associated with a better response to chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.
Polymorphisms of ERCC1 C118T/C8092A and MDR1 C3435T predict outcome of platinum-based chemotherapies in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis.
In this study we investigated the potential association of MDR1 2677G>T at exon 21, 3435C>T at exon 26 and their haplotypes with chemotherapy response of 54 Han Chinese patients with NSCLC.
Using the TaqMan 5' nuclease assay, we examined ERCC1 118, XPD 751 and 312, RRM1 -37C/A, and MDR1 C3435T SNPs in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) obtained from 62 docetaxel-cisplatin-treated advanced NSCLC patients.
