Multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) polymorphisms impact the 6-mercaptopurine dose tolerance during maintenance therapy in Japanese childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) is involved in the efflux of nucleoside derivatives and has a role in the determination of drug sensitivity. We investigated the relationship between MRP4 genetic polymorphis...
