Background: Thiopurines are essential medications in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) treatment protocols as anti-cancer agents since long time; however, their use might result in unexpected toxicities in ALL children due to the low thiopurine S ...

Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline for Thiopurine Dosing Based on TPMT and NUDT15 Genotypes: 2025 Update. [PDF]
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) and Nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) are key enzymes that catabolize thiopurines. Decreased or no‐function alleles in TPMT and NUDT15 are associated with reduced or no enzyme activity and predictive of pronounced adverse effects, including severe myelosuppression, that may occur among individuals treated with standard ...

Clinical and Economic Impact of Expanded TPMT Testing to Prevent Thiopurine-Induced Myelosuppression in Australia: A Budget Impact Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Testing thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) enzyme activity or genotype prior to thiopurine prescribing is recommended to reduce the risk of moderate to severe—and potentially fatal—myelosuppression in poor or intermediate TPMT metabolizers. Despite this, only about one‐third of individuals prescribed thiopurines in Australia currently receive

Genetic Determinants of Hematopoietic Toxicity Risk in Thai Pediatric Patients Undergoing 6-Mercaptopurine Treatment. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The nucleoside diphosphate‐linked moiety X‐type motif 15 (NUDT15) has been identified as a key genetic determinant of 6‐mercaptopurine (6‐MP)‐induced hematopoietic toxicity in populations with a high frequency of NUDT15 variants but a low frequency of thiopurine S‐methyltransferase (TPMT) variants.

It is known that the recommended dietary allowance of selenium (Se) is dangerously close to its tolerable upper intake level. Se is detoxified and excreted in urine as trimethylselenonium ion (TMSe) when the amount ingested exceeds the nutritional level.

A cost analysis of thiopurine treatment was carried out in 257 patients, with 153 preemptively genotyped for TPMT and 104 retrospectively genotyped in a Spanish setting.

Implications of Tioguanine Dosing in IBD Patients with a TPMT Deficiency
Tioguanine is metabolised by fewer enzymatic steps compared to azathioprine and mercaptopurine, without generating 6-methylmercaptopurine ribonucleotides.

Pharmacogenetic variants in TPMT alter cellular responses to cisplatin in inner ear cell lines. [PDF]
Cisplatin is a highly-effective and widely-used chemotherapeutic agent that causes ototoxicity in many patients. Pharmacogenomic studies of key genes controlling drug biotransformation identified variants in thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) as ...

Aim:Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an essential enzyme in the metabolism of thiopurine drugs, and its activity may change due to different polymorphisms in the TPMT gene.
