Thiopurine S-Methyltransferase Polymorphisms Predict Hepatotoxicity in Azathioprine-Treated Patients with Autoimmune Diseases
28 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is the rate-limiting enzyme in Azathioprine (AZA) metabolization. Although studies have discussed the association between the TPMT polymorphisms and myelosuppression, the data about the relationship between TPMT genotypes and hepatoxicity in Asian patients remain limited. This study investigated the correlation between TPMT polymorphisms and AZA-related hepatotoxicity. This...
