Abstract
Aim Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Several genetic and environmental factors are known to be involved in breast cancer pathogenesis, but the exact etiology of this disease is complicated and not completely understood. We aimed to investigate whether the gene polymorphisms of ABCB1 and ABCG2 carrier proteins and COX-2 enzyme affect breast cancer risk. Method ABCG2 C421A (rs2231142), ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642), COX-2 T8473C (rs5275) and COX-2 G306C (rs5277) were genotyped 104 breast cancer patients and 90 healthy controls using a real-time PCR for breast cancer susceptibility. Results Patients carrying ABCG2 C421A, the CC genotype, had a higher risk of disease compared with patients carrying any A allele (OR = 3.06; 95% CI = 1.49–6.25, p = 0.0019). The other variants showed no association with breast cancer (p > 0.05). Comparing the pathological parameters with the variants, only, the frequency of C allele of ABCB1 C3435T was significantly lower in the estrogen receptor-α (ERα) (OR = 2.25; 95% CI: 0.75–6.76; p = 0.041) and progesterone receptor (PgR) (OR = 3.67; 95% CI: 1.34–10.03; p = 0.008) positive breast cancer patients. Conclusion ABCB1 C3435T and ABCG2 C421A might represent a potential risk factor for breast cancer for Turkish women.

Abstract
The proposed model describes in a quality way the process of tumor-imaging radiopharmaceutical 99mTc-MIBI distribution with taking into account radiopharmaceutical accumulation, elimination, and radioactive decay. The dependencies of concentration versus the time are analyzed. The model can be easily tested by the concentration data of the radioactive pharmaceuticals in the blood measured at early time point and late time point of the scanning, and the obtained data can be used for determination of the washout rate coefficient which is one of the existing oncology diagnostics methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ATP-binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1) gene codes for a membrane efflux pump localized in epithelial cells. Together with other Permeability-glycoproteins in the small and large intestine, its product represents a barrier against xenobiotics, bacterial toxins, drugs and other substances introduced with diet, including carcinogens. The aim of this investigation was to verify the possible contribution of ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to the genetic risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). RESULTS DNA obtained from the peripheral blood of 98 CRC patients and 100 healthy controls was genotyped for the three selected SNPs: 1236C > T (rs1128503), 2677G > T/A (rs2032582), and 3435C > T (rs1045642). Molecular data were analyzed to asses allele and haplotype association with CRC. No evidence of an association between ABCB1 alleles and CRC occurrence as a whole was found. However, ABCB1 showed either association with carcinoma of the sigmoid colon, and appeared able to influence the sex ratio among CRC patients. These two effects seemed to act independently based on multivariate analysis. We showed that ABCB1 polymorphisms were able to influence CRC susceptibility related to tumor localization and patient gender. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that sensitivity to undetermined risk factors could depend on the genetic background of ABCB1 locus, with a mechanism that also depends on patient gender.

Abstract
Background The multidrug resistance (MDR) 1 gene encodes a 170-kDa membrane transporter called P-glycoprotein, which plays an important role in protecting cells against lipophilic xenobiotics by the way of an ATP-dependent cellular efflux mechanism. Three polymorphisms of MDR1, 3435C > T located in exon 26, 1236C > T in exon 12 and 2677G > T/A in exon 21 were the most extensively studied and were identified functionally important and ethnically diverse mapping to the gene region. Considering the potential influence of altering MDR1 activity, it is plausible that MDR1 polymorphisms might play a role in the development of cancer. Although the effects of MDR1 polymorphisms on susceptibility to human cancer have been investigated in many studies, the results still remain conflicting. Methods To resolve these conflicts, we performed a quantitative synthesis of the association between these three polymorphisms and cancer risk, including 52 studies (15789 cases and 20274 controls) for 3435C > T polymorphism, 10 studies (2101 cases and 2842 controls) for 1236C > T polymorphism and 18 studies (3585 cases and 4351 controls) for 2677G > T/A polymorphism. Results The stratified analyses for 3435C > T polymorphism, individuals with T-allele in 3435C > T had significantly higher ALL risks (TT versus CC: OR =1.286, 95% CI =1.123-1.474); significantly elevated risks were observed among Caucasian populations (TT versus CC: OR =1.276, 95% CI =1.112-1.464). When restricting the analysis to the source of controls, we found that HB (hospital-based) genetic models had higher risks (TT versus CC: OR =1.307, 95% CI =1.046-1.632), as well as in PB (population-based) genetic models (TT versus CC: OR =1.294, 95% CI =1.079-1.55). The T/A-allele frequency of 2677G > T/A polymorphism was associated with higher risk of cancer (TT + TA + AA vs. GG: OR =1.348, 95% CI =1.031-1.762), significantly elevated risks were observed among Asian populations (TT + TA + AA vs. GG: OR =1.642, 95% CI =1.340-2.012), and elevated risks could be associated with PB models (TT + TA + AA vs. GG: OR =1.641, 95% CI =1.018-2.646). Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggested that 3435C > T polymorphism and 2677G > T/A polymorphism were associated with cancer risk when all studies were pooled together, while 1236C > T polymorphism not.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is among the most common cancer types in the world and its etiology involves the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. ABCB1 is highly expressed in the apical surface of colonic epithelial cells and acts as an efflux pump by transporting toxic endogenous substances, drugs and xenobiotics out of cells. ABCB1 polymorphisms may either change its protein expression or alter its function. Several studies have reported a possible association between ABCB1 variants and colorectal cancer, but no consistent conclusion has been arrived at. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between colorectal cancer and the functional common variants of ABCB1 (1236C > T; 2677G > T/A; 3435C > T). The distributions of the variants were determined in 103 patients with colorectal cancer and 150 healthy volunteers using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. ABCB1 1236C > T was statistically significantly associated with colorectal cancer risk (OR, odd ratio = 1.91; 95% CI, confidence interval = 1.09-3.35; p = 0.034). In haplotype-based analysis, the proportion of individuals with the ABCB1 haplotype C1236-G2677-T3435 was significantly more common in patients than in controls (OR = 11.96; 95% CI = 2.59-55.32; p = 0.0004). We believe that the findings may be beneficial to the development of efficacious preventive strategies and therapies for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
AIM ABCB1/MDR1 protein is found in high concentrations on the apical surfaces of colonic epithelial cells. It acts as an efflux pump by transporting toxic endogenous substances, drugs and xenobiotics out of cells. Polymorphisms in the ABCB1/MDR1 gene may either change expression of the ABCB1/MDR1 protein or alter its function, suggesting its possible association with colorectal cancer. Several studies have reported a relationship between ABCB1 gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk, but no consistent conclusion has been reached. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to identify any association between the ABCB1 gene and CRC risk. METHOD PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Cbmdisc and CNKI were searched for studies on the relationship of ABCB1/MDR1 gene SNPs and the incidence of colorectal cancer. Eligible articles were included for data extraction. The main outcome was the frequency of ABCB1/MDR1 gene SNPs among cases and controls. Comparison of the distribution of SNPs was performed mainly using Review Manager 5.0. RESULTS Ten, four and two trials were identified that focussed on the ABCB1 gene SNPs rs1045642, rs2032582 and rs3789243, respectively. A total of 3175 cases and 3715 controls were included. The meta-analysis, stratified by ethnicity or population source, indicated no association between the ABCB1 gene rs1045642 polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk. However, when the study by Bae et al. was removed from the analysis, there was some evidence to indicate a higher T-allele frequency in Asian colorectal cancer patients (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.02-1.67, P = 0.03). Neither ABCB1 rs2032582 nor ABCB1 rs3789243 indicated an association with colorectal cancer risk. An increased frequency only of the wild-type combined allele (rs2032582G/rs1045642C) was found in Caucasian patients (OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.03-1.44, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION There is some evidence to indicate an association between ABCB1 rs1045642T and colorectal cancer risk in Asians. Compared with the ABCB1 gene SNPs rs1045642, rs2032582 or rs3789243 alone, combined haplotypes of several SNPs might be a better marker to determine the genetic influence on the susceptibility to colorectal cancer among Caucasians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND P-glycoprotein, the product of the MDR1 gene, is a transmembrane active efflux pump for a variety of environmental toxins and xenobiotics. Epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. However, published data are still inconclusive. METHODS To derive a more precise assessment of this relevance, we performed a meta-analysis, up to September 2010, of 5,196 cases with different cancer types and 6,827 controls from 34 published case-control studies. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and cancer were estimated using fixed- and random-effects models when appropriate. RESULTS The overall results suggested that the variant was associated with a moderately increased cancer risk in all comparison models tested (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.06-1.50 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.04-1.37 for CT vs. CC; OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01-1.32 for recessive model; OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06-1.38 for domain model, and OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.04-1.26 for allele contrast). In the subgroup analysis by cancer types, significant associations were found in breast cancer (OR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.24-2.21 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.14-1.82 for recessive model; OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.10-1.81 for domain model; and OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.13-1.52 for allele contrast) and renal cancer (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.37-2.90 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.25-2.42 for domain model; OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.09-1.88 for recessive model; and OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.17-1.68 for allele contrast). However, no significant associations were found in colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia for all genetic models. In the ethnicity subgroup analysis, a significant association with cancer among Caucasians was found under the dominant model, homozygote comparison, CT versus CC comparison, and allele comparison. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility, increasing the risk of breast and renal cancer.

MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and cancer risk: a meta-analysis based on 39 case-control studies. Mol Biol Rep 2012; 39:7237-49.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encodes the ATP-dependent cellular efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp) which efflux of a variety of substances across the membrane. P-gp could serve a role in cancer etiology based on its physiological role of protecting cells from xenobiotics or metabolites. The C3435T (rs1045642) polymorphism of the MDR1 gene which could influence the P-gp expression and function have been implicated in the cancer risk. However, the results from the published studies on the association between this polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. To drive a more precise estimation of this association, we performed a meta-analysis of 39 case-control studies, including a total of 9,265 cancer cases and 13,502 controls. We used odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the strength of the association. Overall, individuals with the MDR1 3435TT genotype were associated with an increased cancer risk than those with the CC (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.10-1.51) or CT/CC (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.04-1.34) genotypes, similar to the CT or CT/TT compared with the CC genotype. In the stratified analyses, the increased risks were more pounced among hematologic malignances (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.10-1.46, P (heterogeneity) = 0.415), breast cancer (1.42, 1.04-1.94, 0.018), renal cancer (1.77, 1.28-2.46, 0.307), Caucasians (1.21, 1.07-1.38, 0.000) and population-based studies (1.20, 1.05-1.36, 0.000) in a dominant model. The results suggested that the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism may contribute to cancer risk.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (PGP), the product of the MDR1 gene, is a transmembrane active efflux pump for a variety of carcinogens and cytostatics. It has been suggested that MDR1 polymorphisms contribute to the variability in cancer risk and therapeutic outcome. We examined the relevance of C3435T polymorphism in relation to breast cancer susceptibility, clinical and pathological characteristics of breast carcinoma, the therapeutic response and hematologic toxicities after anthracycline-based chemotherapy. A significant association between allele frequencies and histological type, stage and histological grade was observed (P=0.024, 0.014, 0.006, respectively, chi(2)-test or Fisher's exact test). We also found significantly higher (P=0.019, chi(2)-test) T allele frequency in breast cancer patients (n=221) than in controls (n=113). A significantly enhanced therapeutic outcome after neoadjuvant therapy (n=38; P=0.021, Fisher's exact test) and longer time to progression after anthracycline-based chemotherapy (n=102; P=0.049, log-rank test) were observed in CC homozygotes. However, no significant association between hematologic toxicities and C3435T polymorphism was detectable.

Abstract
Although primary brain tumors (PBTs) are generally considered to be a multifactorial disorder, understanding the genetic basis and etiology of the disease is essential for PBT risk assessment. Understanding of the genetic susceptibility for PBT has come from studies of rare genetic syndromes, linkage analysis, family aggregation, early-onset pediatric cases, and mutagen sensitivity. There are currently no effective markers to assess biological dose of exposures and genetic heterogeneity. The priorities recently recommended by the Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium emphasized the need for expanding research in genetics and molecular epidemiology. In this article, we review the literature to identify molecular epidemiologic case-control studies of PBTs that were hypothesis-driven and focused on four hypothesized candidate pathways: DNA repair, cell cycle, metabolism, and inflammation. We summarize the results in terms of genetic associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms of these pathways. We also discuss future research directions based on available evidence and technologies, and conclude that high resolution whole genome approach with significantly large sample size could rapidly advance our understanding of the genetic etiology of PBTs. Literature searches were done on PubMed in March 2009 with the terms glioma, glioblastoma, brain tumor, association, and polymorphism, and we only reviewed English language publications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional studies support the involvement of the MDR1 gene in the pathways leading to Crohn's disease (CD). Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), C3435T and G2677T/A, thought to alter the function of the corresponding P-glycoprotein, have shown inconsistent associations with CD. We investigated whether DNA variants in the MDR1 gene were associated with susceptibility for CD and specific phenotypes in children. METHODS A case-control study was conducted at 3 gastroenterology clinics across Canada. Children with CD and population- or hospital-based controls were included. CD cases were classified using the Montreal Classification. Thirteen tag-SNPs and the C3435T variant in the MDR1 gene were genotyped. Single-SNP allelic, genotype as well as gene-wide haplotype associations with CD and its phenotypes at diagnosis were assessed. RESULTS A total of 270 CD cases and 336 controls were studied. Most cases were male (56.3%), had disease location L3+/-L4 (58.1%), and an inflammatory phenotype B1+/-p (88.5%). Allelic association analysis revealed that SNP rs17327442 was significantly associated with overall susceptibility to CD (odds ratio [OR] = 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.50-0.99, P = 0.04) but this association did not withstand corrections for multiple testing (q-value = 0.56). Genotype-phenotype analysis indicated that 2 SNPs (rs10248420, P = 0.007, q-value = 0.07; rs2032583, P = 0.01, q-value = 0.07) were significantly associated with colonic disease. Five SNPs, rs1128503 (P = 0.02), rs1202184 (P = 0.008), rs1202186 (P = 0.02), rs2091766 (P = 0.03), and rs2235046 (P = 0.03) were nominally associated with noninflammatory CD. Specific haplotypes comprising of the tag-SNPs were significantly associated with either colonic or noninflammatory CD. CONCLUSIONS Our comprehensive gene-wide analysis suggests that the MDR1 gene may be associated with clinical phenotypes of CD in children.

Abstract
Two main approaches are generally used to study the epidemiology of primary brain tumors. The first approach is to identify risk factors, which may be intrinsic or related to external causes. The second main approach is descriptive. Intrinsic factors potentially affecting risk include genetic predisposition and susceptibility, gender, race, birth weight and allergy. Radiation exposure is the main extrinsic factor affecting risk. A large body of work devoted, among others, to electromagnetic fields and especially cellular phones, substitutive hormonal therapy, pesticides, and diet have been published. To date, results have been discordant. Descriptive epidemiological studies have reported an increasing annual incidence of primary brain tumors in industrialized countries. The main reasons are the increasing age of the population and better access to diagnostic imaging. Comparing incidences from one registry to another is difficult. Spatial and temporal variations constitute one explanation and evolutions in coding methods another. In all registries, weak incidence of primary brain tumors constitute a very important limiting factor. Renewed interest from the neuro-oncological community is needed to obtain pertinent and essential data which could facilitate improved knowledge on this topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some patients with glioblastoma multiform do not respond to temozolomide even though they have aberrant promoter methylation of the DNA repair enzyme O(6)-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT). This suggests that additional factors hamper temozolomide cytotoxicity. We aimed to confirm first that temozolomide is a target for the multidrug resistance transporter MDR1/ABCB1 and second to investigate whether genetic variants of the MDR1 gene are associated with the survival of glioblastoma patients treated with temozolomide. MATERIALS AND METHODS Temozolomide-mediated cytotoxicity was determined by the colorimetric methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium assay in MDR-expressing and MDR-nonexpressing cell lines. Genotypes of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the MDR1 gene (C1236T, G2677T, and C3435T), MDR1 mRNA expression levels, and the MGMT promoter methylation status were analyzed in 112 glioblastoma patients who had been treated either by surgery plus radiotherapy alone or by additional temozolomide chemotherapy. RESULTS In vitro analysis revealed that temozolomide-mediated cytotoxicity is dependent on MDR1 expression. Multivariate analysis of MDR1 genotypes showed that the C/C variant of the exon12 C1236T SNP is predictive for survival of patients treated with temozolomide. This effect was independent of the MGMT methylation status. Patients with the C/C genotype had a 2-year overall survival of 37% compared with 8% and 10% for patients with C/T and T/T genotypes, respectively (P=0.02). No influence was seen in the group of patients with radiotherapy only. CONCLUSION The genotype of the MDR1 exon12 C1236T SNP is a novel independent predictive factor for outcome of temozolomide treatment in glioblastoma patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The multidrug resistance (MDR) 1 gene encodes a membrane transporter called P-glycoprotein, which plays an important role in protecting cells against lipophilic xenobiotics by way of an ATP-dependent cellular efflux mechanism. Among children enrolled in the Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study, we examined the susceptibility conferred by MDR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and predicted haplotypes and whether they modify the association between indoor insecticide exposure and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). METHODS Buccal cell DNA from ALL cases (n = 294) and controls (n = 369) individually matched on gender, date of birth, Hispanic status, and maternal race were whole genome amplified and genotyped for four MDR1 SNPs, T-129C (rs3213619), C1236T (rs1128503), G2677T/A (rs2032582), and C3435T (rs1045642). Detailed and time-specific information on household pesticide use was obtained using in-home interviews with the mother. RESULTS Allele frequencies in non-Hispanic White and Hispanic controls were similar, and with the exception of T-129C, seemed to be in strong linkage disequilibrium. Overall, the SNPs considered individually or within haplotypes (C1236T-G2677T/A-C3435T) were not significantly associated with childhood ALL. However, we observed strong evidence of a differential effect of indoor insecticide exposure (interaction odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.64; P = 0.025) on risk of ALL between carriers and noncarriers of haplotype CGC. CONCLUSION These preliminary data suggest that children carrying the haplotype CGC may be less susceptible to the leukemogenic effects of indoor insecticide exposures. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays an important role in carcinogen distribution and is connected with cell differentiation and apoptotic processes leading to carcinogenesis. Interindividual differences in P-gp activity could modulate susceptibility to cancer development. The MDR1 gene, coding for P-gp, is highly polymorphic and some mutations modulate P-gp activity. Recently, association between the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and the cancer susceptibility was shown. We have hypothesized that MDR1 polymorphism could influence endometrial cancer susceptibility. We have matched 198 women with endometrial cancer and 198 controls. An additional group of 488 healthy volunteers was investigated. The MDR1 C3435T polymorphism was tested by LightCycler assay. The distribution of MDR1 3435 genotypes was significantly different between cases and controls (P = 0.006). Genotypes containing at least one 3435T allele were statistically significant more frequent in the endometrial cancer group (86.8% vs 75.2%, OR 2.18, P = 0.004). Our observation suggests that MDR1 C3435T polymorphism is correlated with endometrial cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
There has been increasing appreciation of the role of drug transporters in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences in pharmacotherapy. The clinical relevance of drug transporters depends on the localisation in human tissues (i.e., vectorial movement), the therapeutic index of the substrates and inherent interindividual variability. With regard to variability, polymorphisms of drug transporter genes have recently been reported to be associated with alterations in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clinically useful drugs. A growing number of preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that the application of genetic information may be useful in individualised pharmacotherapy for numerous diseases. However, the reported effects of variants in certain drug transporter genes have been inconsistent and, in some cases, conflicting among studies. Furthermore, the incidence of almost all known variants in transporter genes tends to be racially dependent. These observations suggest the necessity of considering interethnic variability before extrapolating pharmacokinetic data obtained in one ethic group to another, especially in the early phase of drug development. This review focuses on the impact of genetic variations in the function of drug transporters (ABC, organic anion and cation transporters) and the implications of these variations for pharmacotherapy from pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic viewpoints.

Abstract
The genotype frequencies of MDR1 T-129C, C1236T, G2677A,T and C3435T SNPs were compared in 154 healthy Japanese and 100 healthy Caucasians to provide basic information on the inter-ethnic differences of pharmacotherapeutic outcome. The variants were found at allelic frequencies of 5.5%, 65.6%, 16.6%, 40.6% and 40.6%, for T-129C, C1236T, G2677A, G2677T and C3435T, respectively, in Japanese, and at 5.1%, 45.9%, 3.6%, 46.4% and 56.6%, respectively, in Caucasians, with a statistically significant difference for C1236T, G2677A,T and C3435T (p<0.001). G2677A was about 5-fold more frequent in Japanese than Caucasians. These genotype frequencies were also investigated in 95 Japanese patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but no significant difference was detected, when compared with healthy Japanese subjects. The haplotype frequency reached a total of about 85% in Japanese with the following 4 major haplotypes; T(-129)-T1236-T2677-T3435 (36.1%), T(-129)-T1236-G2677-C3435 (22.5%), T(-129)-C1236-G2677-C3435 (14.2%) and T(-129)-C1236-A2677-C3435 (13.3%). The second and fourth haplotypes were hardly inferred in Caucasian, whereas T(-129)-C1236-G2677-T3435 (12.8%) was found to be Caucasian-specific. There was a tendency for higher frequencies of the T(-129)/C-(129)-C1236-A2677-C3435 haplotype in Japanese CRC patients and T(-129)-T1236-T2677-T3435 haplotype in Japanese ESCC patients, compared with that in healthy Japanese subjects.

Abstract
In population-based glioma patients, we examined survival in relation to potentially pertinent constitutive polymorphisms, serologic factors, and tumor genetic and protein alterations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), MDM2, and TP53. Subjects were newly diagnosed adults residing in the San Francisco Bay Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Area during 1991 to 1994 and 1997 to 1999 with central neuropathology review (n = 873). Subjects provided blood for serologic studies of IgE and IgG to four herpes viruses and constitutive specimens for genotyping 22 polymorphisms in 13 genes (n = 471). We obtained 595 of 697 astrocytic tumors for marker studies. We determined treatments, vital status, and other factors using registry, interview, medical record, and active follow-up data. Cox regressions for survival were adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, study series, resection versus biopsy only, radiation, and chemotherapy. Using a stringent P < 0.001, glioma survival was associated with ERCC1 C8092A [hazard ratio (HR), 0.72; 95% confidence limits (95% CL), 0.60-0.86; P = 0.0004] and GSTT1 deletion (HR, 1.64; 95% CL, 1.25-2.16; P = 0.0004); glioblastoma patients with elevated IgE had 9 months longer survival than those with normal or borderline IgE levels (HR, 0.62; 95% CL, 0.47-0.82; P = 0.0007), and EGFR expression in anaplastic astrocytoma was associated with nearly 3-fold poorer survival (HR, 2.97; 95% CL, 1.70-5.19; P = 0.0001). Based on our and others' findings, we recommend further studies to (a) understand relationships of elevated IgE levels and other immunologic factors with improved glioblastoma survival potentially relevant to immunologic therapies and (b) determine which inherited ERCC1 variants or other variants in the 19q13.3 region influence survival. We also suggest that tumor EGFR expression be incorporated into clinical evaluation of anaplastic astrocytoma patients.

Abstract
Multidrug resistant transporter MDR1/P-glycoprotein, the gene product of MDR1, is a glycosylated membrane protein of 170 kDa, belonging to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily of membrane transporters. A number of various types of structurally unrelated drugs are substrates for MDR1, and MDR1 and other transporters are recognized as an important class of proteins for regulating pharmacokinetics. The first investigation of the effects of MDR1 genotypes on pharmacotherapy was reported in 2000; a silent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), C3435T in exon 26, was found to be associated with the duodenal expression of MDR1, and thereby the plasma concentration of digoxin after oral administration. In the last 5 years, clinical studies have been conducted around the world on the association of MDR1 genotype with MDR1 expression and function in tissues, and with the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs; however, there are still discrepancies in the results on C3435T. In 1995, a novel concept to predict in vivo oral pharmacokinetic performance from data on in vivo permeability and in vitro solubility has been proposed, and this Biopharmaceutical Classification System strongly suggested that the effects of intestinal MDR1 on the intestinal absorption of substrates is minimal in the case of commercially available oral drugs, and therefore MDR1 genotypes are little associated with the pharmacokinetics after oral administration. This review summarizes the latest reports for the future individualization of pharmacotherapy based on MDR1 genotyping, and attempts to explain discrepancies.
