INTRODUCTION: Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPTM) is a well known biomarker for thiopurine-induced leucopenia, which has limited value in Asia. Instead, NUDT15 C415T is a promising predictor in Asia. AIMS: To explore whether an optimised strategy based on NUDT15 C415T genotypes affects thiopurine-induced leucopenia, as well as efficacy in Chinese patients with Crohn's disease. METHODS: Patients with Crohn's...
