Pharmacogenomics in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children
Roganović, Jelena
Abstract
Over the past decades, the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in
children has made remarkable progress. Pharmacogenomics of acute leukemias elucidates
mechanisms of genetic control of antileukemic effects of chemotherapy and development
of drug resistance. The aim of pharmacogenomic studies, related to the treatment of
pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemias, is to identify genes responsible for drug efficacy
and toxicity, matched with the genetic makeup of every individual child. Pharmacogenomics
offers the reasonable promise of therapeutic optimization and individualization, and further
improvement of treatment outcome in childhood lymphoblastic leukemia.

Farmakogenomika u terapiji akutnih limfatičnih leukemija u djece
Roganović, Jelena
Posljednjih desetljeća postignut je izvanredan napredak u liječenju akutnih
limfatičnih leukemija u djece. Farmakogenomika akutnih leukemija izučava genetičku kontrolu
mehanizama koji utječu na antileukemijski učinak lijekova i razvoja rezistencije na ove lijekove.
Cilj farmakogenomike pedijatrijskih akutnih limfatičnih leukemija je identifikacija onih dijelova
genoma koji su odgovorni za poželjne i nepoželjne učinke pojedinih citotoksičnih lijekova, u
ovisnosti o individualnoj sposobnosti oboljelog djeteta da lijek iskoristi, metabolizira i
eliminira. Stoga farmakogenomika pruža opravdanu nadu u mogućnost optimalizacije i
individualizacije terapije, te daljnjeg poboljšanja rezultata liječenja djece s akutnom
limfatičnom leukemijom.
