Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) genetic polymorphisms have been studied intensively in relation to thiopurine toxicity. In the present study, an improved pyrosequencing method was developed for TPMT genotyping and used to investigate the genotype frequency in Korean and Vietnamese populations. METHODS: Four-hundred Korean and 159 Vietnamese subjects were genotyped by pyrosequencing for TPMT...
