Lack of association between the ITPA 94C>A polymorphism and adverse effects from azathioprine
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
A 94C>A missense mutation in the ITPA gene which encodes inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase has been associated with adverse effects from azathioprine, specifically flu-like symptoms, pancreatitis and rash. We hypothesized that this association may also be present in a larger, population-based group of inflammatory bowel disease patients intolerant of thiopurine drugs. We performed genotyping for this...
