Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: TPMT activity and metabolite determination (6-thioguanine nucleotides [6-TGN] and 6-methylmercaptopurine nucleotides [6-MMPN]) remain controversial during thiopurine management. This study assessed associations between patient characteristics and TPMT activity, and their impact on metabolite levels. PATIENTS & METHODS: A retrospective review of the laboratory database from a French university...
