Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate the gene mutation of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) in Uygur Chinese. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-based methods were used to analyze three commonly reported inactivating mutations-G238C, G460A and A719G. RESULTS: One TPMT*3A heterozygote and five TPMT*3C heterozygotes were found in 160 Uygur Chinese subjects, and allele frequencies of TPMT*3A and TPMT*3C were...
