FCgammaRIIIA and FCgammaRIIA polymorphisms are not associated with response to rituximab and CHOP in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Haematologica. 2007 Jul;92(7):998-9. doi: 10.3324/haematol.10327.

Abstract

We investigated the association ofFcgammaRIIIaa and FcgRIIa polymorphisms and response to R-CHOP in 58 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). FcgammaRIIIa and FcgRIIa polymorphisms did not influence response, event-free or overall survival. These results suggest that ADCC via FcgammaRIIIa and FcgammaRIIa may not be the major mechanism of activity of the R-CHOP combination in DLBCL.
