See full text

The present invention provides methods for optimizing clinical responsiveness to chemotherapy in an individual through genotypic analysis of polymorphisms in at least one gene. The methods of the present invention may further comprise determining the level of at least one long-chain methotrexate polyglutamate (MTXPG) in a sample obtained from the individual. The present invention also provides methods for generating a pharmacogenetic index for predicting clinical responsiveness to chemotherapy in an individual through genotypic analysis of polymorphisms in at least one gene. In addition, the present invention provides methods for optimizing therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy in an individual by calculating the level of at least one long-chain MTXPG in a sample obtained from the individual.
