The interindividual variation in the activity of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and DNA repair genes could modify an individual's risk of recurrent malignancy and response to therapy. We investigated whether ALL outcome was related to polymorphisms in genes CYP2D6, MPO, EPHX1, NQO1, TS, XPD and XRC
Polymorphisms have been identified in several DNA repair genes. These polymorphisms may effect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility. In this study, we aimed to determine the four polymorphisms in two DNA repair genes, xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) and X-ray re
It is widely accepted that pathogenesis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is related to the interplay between specific environmental exposure and inherited background. Major role of some members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of membrane transporters including MDR1 (ABCB1, P-
## Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer. The genetic factors underlying the susceptibility to this disease remain elusive. The enzymes CYP2E1, MPO and NQO1 are involved in the biotransformation of a variety of xenobiotics present in organic solvents, tobac
