Supports HER2 655 A>G as marker for trastuzumab cardiotoxicity; hypothesis-generating, requires validation in larger cohorts.
Does the HER2 655 A>G polymorphism predict trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in HER2-positive breast cancer patients?
The HER2 655 A>G polymorphism serves as a significant genetic marker for increased risk of trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in HER2-positive breast cancer patients.
Peña et al. (2015) studied this question.
