Abstract excerpt
Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPase) catalyzes the conversion of inosine triphosphate (ITP) to the correspondent monophosphate. The ITPA c.94C>A and g.IVS2+21A>C allelic variants are associated with decreased red cell enzyme activity. The ITPA c.94C>A [P32T] sequence variant is associated with an increased risk of adverse drug reactions in patients treated with the thiopurine drug azathioprine. The aim...
