Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Adverse reactions to thiopurines may be predisposed by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) or inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) gene mutations. METHODOLOGY: We examined the frequencies of TPMT and ITPA gene polymorphisms in 812 Korean patients with inflammatory bowel diseases using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography and direct sequencing. RESULTS: The allele frequencies...
