Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), aldehyde oxidase1 (AOX1), and molybdenum cofactor sulfurase (MOCOS) are enzymes involved in purine metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in XDH, AOX1, and MOCOS genes in relation to clinical parameters and risk of drug side effects in a cohort of kidney transplant recipients treated with azathioprine (AZA) as a part of...
