Abstract:Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the most extensively used drugs in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis (PS). However, it frequently must be suspended owing to the toxicity in certain patients. Objective: To evaluate the influence of ABCC1, ABCG2, and FOXP3 in the development of MTX toxicity in PS. Methods: Retrospective cohort study with 101 patients. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan probes. Results: Patients car… Show more
