Abstract

In vitro prednisolone resistance is a poor prognostic factor in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In a cohort of 54 children with ALL, a lower expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), but not the relative expression levels of the GR-α, GR-β and GR-P isoforms, was associated with in vitro prednisolone resistance.
