Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the effects of ABCB1 and SLCO1B1 gene polymorphisms and the methotrexate (MTX)treatment response in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Materials & methods: Low-risk GTN patients who received MTX as a first-line single agent were enrolled. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from 18 patients and assessed for ABCB1 C3435T and SLCO1B1 T521C. Results:ABCB1 C3435T and SLCO1B1 T521C polymorphisms were not associated with the MTX response or toxicity in Thai patients Conclusion: The selected ABCB1 and SLCO1B1 polymorphism do not predict the risk of MTX resistance in low-risk GTN.
