Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms are important factors in effects and toxicity of chemotherapeutics. This study aimed to investigate whether there was a correlation between genotype or haplotype of inosine triphosph pyrophosphohydrolase(ITPA) and toxicities during maintenance therapy with mercaptopurine (6-MP) in Chinese patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). 95 ALL children who hospitalized between October 2004...
