Predicting Adverse Events to Thiopurines in IBD: Are We a Step Closer?

Mohmmed Tauseef Sharip et al. Inflamm Bowel Dis. .

Abstract

Thiopurines remain an important option in the treatment of IBD. However, the unpredictable and sometimes serious side effects and intolerance remain a major challenge. Pretreatment of extended genetic panel analysis, identification of novel variants, and monitoring of intermediate metabolites will help improve the overall outcome and reduce the toxicity.

Keywords: GenePy score; nudix hydroxylase (NUDT 15); thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT).
