Abstract excerpt
TPMT and NUDT15 polymorphisms are major determinants of tolerance to thiopurine drugs used in leukemias and nonmalignant immunologic disorders. We adopted an extreme discordant phenotype approach to explore the impact of Native American versus European ancestry on the distribution of TPMT and NUDT15 polymorphisms, and inferred metabolic phenotypes in the 1000 Genomes Ad Mixed American superpopulation.
