We aimed to study the association between SNPs of the MDR1 gene (C1236T, G2677T/A, C3435T) and IM response in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Method: A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 48 patients with CML undergoing IM therapy. All patients were genotyped using PCR-RFLP method. Results: The genotype and allele frequencies of C1236T and C3435T were not significantly different between CML patients responders and non-responders to IM (p > 0.05). The frequencies of 2677T allele and 2677TT genotype were significantly increased in CML patients IM responders which as compared with IM non-responders (50% vs 26.9%, p = 0.013 and 27.3% vs 3.8%, p = 0.029 respectively). Whereas the 2677AA genotype and CAC haplotype were found only in CML patients IM non-responders (15.4%). Conclusion: Pretreatment genotyping of G2677A/T appears to be useful for predicting IM resistance, which may allow the best choice of drug treatment for CML patients.展开更多
