Abstract excerpt
Thiopurines (eg, 6-mercaptopurine [MP]) are highly efficacious antileukemic agents, but they are also associated with dose-limiting toxicities. Recent studies by us and others have identified inherited NUDT15 deficiency as a novel genetic cause of thiopurine toxicity, and there is a strong rationale for NUDT15-guided dose individualization to preemptively mitigate adverse effects of these drugs. Using CRISPR-Cas9...
