Abstract excerpt
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Thiopurines such as 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) are essential in ALL maintenance therapy. However, dose-limiting toxicities can significantly disrupt treatment. While genetic variants in TPMT and NUDT15 are known to affect thiopurine response, many patients with normal function genotypes in these genes still experience adverse effects, suggesting...
