Rate ratios of recovery and 95% confidence intervals are presented. A rate ratio <1.0 indicates slower cell count recovery than in the wild-type reference group (CC genotype). MTX indicates methotrexate. See Table 1 for other abbreviation.

*

Cox regression analyses, adjusted for age (4 groups), sex, conditioning regimen, total MTX dose, weight (kg), height (cm), and mean creatinine levels (days 1-12).
