Popis: Background Busulfan (BU), often used in high dose for myeloablation before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), has been implicated in certain HSCT toxicities, including the occurrence of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD). In addition to weight and age, gene polymorphisms in specific members of the glutathione-transferase (GST) gene family (A1, P1, M1, and T1), involved in BU metabolism, may play a role in the wide inter-patient variability in systemic BU concentrations. Procedure The present study integrated clinical data regarding the occurrence of HVOD, graft versus host disease (GVHD), BU pharmacokinetics and GSTA1, GSTP1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 genotypes of 18 children who received BU in their pre-HSCT conditioning regimen. The children were all treated for congenital hemoglobinopathies and were all of Arab Moslem descent. Results The data demonstrate an association between GSTA1 and GSTP1 genotypes and BU-maximal concentration (Cmax) (P = 0.01, P = 0.02, respectively), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) (P = 0.02, P = 0.01, respectively) and oral BU clearance/kg body weight (P
