Pulse Dosing of Thioguanine in Recalcitrant Psoriasis [PDF]
Patients with severe psoriasis may be unresponsive to or unable to tolerate the adverse effects of traditional therapy. Thioguanine has been used to treat psoriasis, but experience is limited. Most previous studies have used daily therapy and have demonstrated significant hematologic abnormalities.To reduce the adverse effects of traditional ...

Abstract Concurrent pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are rarely reported, and no established pediatric‐specific guidelines are available to guide the diagnosis and management of these conditions in children. While AIP and AIH share an underlying autoimmune mechanism of injury, marked by chronic inflammatory changes

Thiopurine S -methyltransferase polymorphisms: efficient screening method for patients considering taking thiopurine drugs [PDF]
Objective: More than 11% of the Caucasian population are heterozygous or homozygous carriers of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) mutants and are at risk for toxic side effects when treated with thiopurine drugs.

Unraveling Novel Genetic Determinants of Thiopurine Response Via TWAS
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 ...

6-methylmercaptopurine-induced leukocytopenia during thiopurine therapy in inflammatory bowel disease patients [PDF]
Background and Aim: Thiopurines have a favorable benefit–risk ratio in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. A feared adverse event of thiopurine therapy is myelotoxicity, mostly occurring due to toxic concentrations of the pharmacologically ...

Abstract Pediatric regimens improve outcomes in adolescent and young adult (AYA) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. End‐consolidation (time point 2 [TP2]) minimal residual disease negativity (MRDneg) is associated with improved survival. In this study, standard consolidation chemotherapy was replaced with blinatumomab to improve TP2 MRDneg—a ...

This study evaluated pharmacogenomic (PGx) calling from whole‐exome sequencing (WES) in 3562 Taiwanese individuals. Fourteen pharmacogenes were reliably identified, with each person carrying an average of ~2.4 actionable phenotypes. The high actionable frequencies of G6PD deficiency and HLA‐B*58:01 highlight ethnic differences and support WES as a ...
