Normal Ranges of Thiopurine Methyltransferase Activity Do Not Affect Thioguanine Nucleotide Concentrations With Azathioprine Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

BACKGROUND: Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity influences azathioprine conversion into active metabolite 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN). Low TPMT activity correlates with high 6-TGN and risk for myelosuppression. Conversely, normal-to-high TPMT activity may be associated with low 6-TGN a...
