Screening of Novel Pharmacogenetic Candidates for Mercaptopurine-Induced Toxicity in Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
20 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
A small proportion of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may experience severe leukopenia after treating with 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), which can be largely explained by germline variants in TPMT and NUDT15. However, a minority of patients suffered such adverse drug reaction have NUDT15wt/wtTPMTwt/wt genotype, indicating other genetic factors may take part in. In this study, we genotyped 539 exon-located...
