View clinical trials related to Thiopurine Methyltransferase.
Filter by:Azathioprine (AZA) has long been used in dermatology in treating autoimmune bullous dermatoses and generalized eczematous disorders as well as some photodermatoses. Its metabolic process inside human body and its side effects relies on genetic polymorphism of some enzymes such as thiopurine s-methyltransferase (TPMT) and inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase gene (ITPA). This study aims to analyze the relative contribution of TMPT and ITPA mutations to the development of toxicity induced by AZA treatment and to detect the correlation of the genetic polymorphism.
