Abstract excerpt
6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) plays an important role in treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (ITPA) is an enzyme involved in 6-MP metabolic pathway that convert the inosine triphosphate (ITP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP) and prevents the accumulation of the toxic metabolite ITP. Our objective was to evaluate the ITPA 94C>A, IVS2+21A>C polymorphisms in...
