Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the relationship between the genotype of thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) and azathioprine tolerance in the patients with rheumatic diseases. METHODS: Four common mutation alleles of TPMT in 200 patients with rheumatic diseases [TPMT*2 (G238C), TPMT*3A (A719G/G460A), TPMT*3B (G460A), TPMT*3C (A719G)] were detected by allele specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) and polymerase chain...
