Novel pharmacogenetic markers for treatment outcome in azathioprine‐treated inflammatory bowel disease
3 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Azathioprine (AZA) pharmacogenetics are complex and much studied. Genetic polymorphism in TPMT is known to influence treatment outcome. Xanthine oxidase/dehydrogenase (XDH) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) compete with TPMT to inactivate AZA. AIM: To assess whether genetic polymorphism in AOX1, XDH and MOCOS (the product of which activates the essential cofactor for AO and XDH) is associated with AZA...
