The role of ABCB1 polymorphism as a prognostic marker for primary central nervous system lymphoma
AssociationN=91Ting Wu et al.(2019)· Annals of Hematology

A prospective study of 91 primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients examined genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair, one-carbon metabolism, and metabolism genes as prognostic markers. ABCB1 rs1045642 was identified as an independent prognostic factor, with the CC genotype significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS: 16 months CC vs. 27 months TT/CT, HR=1.9, P=0.036) and higher risk of disease progression compared to T allele carriers.

About SHMT1

This gene encodes the cytosolic form of serine hydroxymethyltransferase, a pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. This reaction provides one-carbon units for synthesis of methionine, thymidylate, and purines in the cytoplasm. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
