Comprehensive characterization of pharmacogenetic variants in TPMT and NUDT15 in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
18 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Thiopurines [e.g. 6-mercaptopurine (6MP)] are essential for the cure of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) but can cause dose-limiting hematopoietic toxicity. Germline variants in drug-metabolizing enzyme genes TPMT and NUDT15 have been linked to the risk of thiopurine toxicity. However, the full spectrum of genetic polymorphism in these genes and their impact on the pharmacological effects of thiopurines remain...
