Five (8.6%) of 58 children with ALL had a polymorphic TPMT allele: 4 (3.4%) were heterozygous for TPMT*3A (G460A and A719G), and one (0.9%) was heterozygous for TPMT*3C (A719G).
The frequencies of TPMT*2, TPMT A719G, NQO1*2 and CYP1A1*2 variants were examined in 100 patients with ALL and 106 healthy controls by allele specific PCR and/or PCR-RFLP methods using blood samples.

A patient, exhibiting neutropenia on 6-MP was observed to be G460A-homozygote, while, two Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) patients with side-effects exhibited wild-type alleles.
In this work, we conduct a case-control study to assess the impact of CYP1A1*2A (CYP1A1 T6235C); NQO1*2 (NQO1 C609T); TPMT*2 (TPMT G238C) and TPMT A719G polymorphisms on the risk of developing ALL.

ITPA(94C>A, IVS2+21A>C) and TPMT (238G>C, 460G>A, and 719A>G) genotypes were assessed in 262 IBD patients (159 females, 103 males; 67 patients with ulcerative colitis, 195 patients with Crohn's disease) treated with AZA and were correlated with the development of leukopenia and hepatotoxicity.
There was a significant correlation between the combined presence of HCV and TPMT*3B G460A gene polymorphisms and grades 2-4 hepatotoxicity as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation (P < 0.04).
ITPA(94C>A, IVS2+21A>C) and TPMT (238G>C, 460G>A, and 719A>G) genotypes were assessed in 262 IBD patients (159 females, 103 males; 67 patients with ulcerative colitis, 195 patients with Crohn's disease) treated with AZA and were correlated with the development of leukopenia and hepatotoxicity.
Fifty-one consecutive out-patients with IBD were genotyped for the following allelic variants: rs1800462 (referred as TPMT 2 allele), rs1800460 (referred as TPMT 3B allele), and 1142345 (referred as TPMT 3C allele).
