Abstract: AIM: To determine the effects of MDR1 C3435T on the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine A in myasthenia gravis patients.METHODS: The genotype on MDR1 C3435T in 96 myasthenia gravis patients was detected using real-time PCR method and 73 patients of them were studied further to determine the relationship of MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and trough blood concentrations of cyclosporine A.RESULTS: There were no difference between normal people and myasthenia gravis patients inMDR1 C3435T distribution.The average concentrations in patient of MDR1 3435CC was higher than that in patients of MDR1 3435CT and 3435TT.CONCLUSION: The pharmacogenomics is important to rationalize the medication of cyclosporine A.
