Abstract excerpt
Thiopurine induced toxicity is associated with defects in the thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) gene. TPMT is a polymorphic enzyme, with most of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) causing an amino acid change, altering the enzymatic activity of the TPMT protein. In this study, we characterize a novel patient allele c.719A > C, named TPMT*41, together with the more common variant *3C c.719A > G,...
