Abstract excerpt
Reduced function alleles in the TPMT and NUDT15 genes are risk factors for thiopurine toxicity. This study evaluated the influence of Native ancestry on the distribution of TPMT (rs1142345, rs1800460 and rs1800462) and NUDT15 (rs116855232) polymorphisms and compound metabolic phenotypes in 128 healthy males from the Brazilian Amazon. The average proportion of Native and European ancestry differed greatly and...
