A phase II clinical trial of 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and methotrexate in patients with BRCA defective tumours: a study protocol [PDF]
BACKGROUND: BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are critical in homologous recombination DNA repair and have been implicated in familial breast and ovarian cancer tumorigenesis. Tumour cells with these mutations demonstrate increased sensitivity to cisplatin and poly (

Genetic variation has a significant impact on patients' response to medicines. Variations in important pharmacogenes have been evaluated in several studies and consequently led to international guidelines from clinical pharmacogenomics consortia. However, there are limited examples of these being implemented across the African continent despite the ...
