Abstract

In the last years, the influence of different genes involved in metabolism of chemotherapeutic agents has been studied. Methotrexate (MTX) is a key compound of chemotherapeutic regimens used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and Burkitt's lymphomas (BL). This study aims to evaluate the role of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and G80A reduced folate carrier gene (RFC1) in a cohort of adult patients with lymphoproliferative malignancies submitted to high-dose MTX followed by leucovorin rescue.
