Abstract excerpt
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) plays an important role in the metabolism of thiopurines. Mutations in the TPMT gene can affect drug activity, which may have adverse effects in humans. Thus, genotyping can help elucidate genetic determinants of drug response to thiopurines and optimize the selection of drug therapies for individual patients, effectively avoiding palindromia during maintenance treatment...
