One amino acid makes a difference–Characterization of a new TPMT allele and the influence of SAM on TPMT stability

Thiopurine induced toxicity is associated with defects in the thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) gene. TPMT is a polymorphic enzyme, with most of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) causing an amino acid change, altering the enzymatic activity of the TPMT protein. In this study, we character...
