P-glycoprotein, encoded by the MDR-1 gene, confers multi-drug resistance against antineoplastic agents and is important for the transmembrane transition of various other common therapeutic drugs. Recently, a number of polymorphisms in the MDR-1 gene were identified and the T/T genotype at position 3435 in exon 26 was found to correlate with intestinal P-glycoprotein expression and bioavailability of digoxin after oral administration. We analysed the allelic frequencies at the polymorphic site C3435T in a group of patients with locally advanced breast cancer treated by preoperative chemotherapy to evaluate its predictive value. Sixty-eight patients diagnosed between 1998 and 2001 were treated by preoperative chemotherapy with anthracyclines or these agents combined with taxanes. From genomic DNA, a 106 bp fragment of MDR-1 exon 26 was amplified and the C3435T genotype was determined by Pyrosequencing methodology. A potential correlation with therapeutic response was calculated with Fisher's exact test. The overall clinical response rate (cCR and cPR) was 68% but only 7 patients (10.3%) achieved pathological complete response (pCR). Heterozygous C3435T occurred in 57% of the subjects and 22% of the analysed individuals possessed only T alleles. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation (p=0.029) between clinical complete response to preoperative chemotherapy and the T/T genotype. MDR-1 polymorphism C3435T in exon 26 may co-determine resistance to chemotherapy and provide useful information to individualize therapy.
