Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: NUDT15 R139C (rs116855232) is a recently identified genetic factor responsible for thiopurine-induced leukocytopenia and hair loss. In this study, we investigated the association of NUDT15 R139C with 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) levels and thiopurine-induced leukocytopenia in Japanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: Two hundred and sixty-four subjects (103 healthy...
