Function-altering SNPs in the human multidrug transporter gene ABCB1 identified using a Saccharomyces-based assay.

The human ABCB1 (MDR1)-encoded multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a major role in disposition and efficacy of a broad range of drugs including anticancer agents. ABCB1 polymorphisms could therefore determine interindividual variability in resistance to these drugs. To test this hypoth...
