Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thiopurine drugs are effective treatment options in inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions but discontinued in some patients due to toxicity. METHODS: We investigated thiopurine-induced toxicity in a pediatric inflammatory bowel disease cohort by utilizing exome sequencing data across a panel of 46 genes, including TPMT and NUDT15. RESULTS: The cohort included 487 patients with a median age...
