Polymorphisms in xenobiotic transporters ABCB1, ABCG2, ABCC2, ABCC1, ABCC3 and multiple myeloma risk : a case--control study in the context of the International Q1 Multiple Myeloma rESEarch consortium

摘要

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological neoplasm that arises from a single clone of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. In Europe, 4.6/100 000 males and 3.2/100 000 females every year develop MM, with a median age at diagnosis around 60 years.
