Its use, however, is also associated with adverse drug reactions, particularly myelosuppression. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and, more recently, Nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) deficiency, due to no-function variants in their respective genes, are well known for their role in the development of this toxicity. Two novel genetic variants, rs12199316 in TPMT and rs73189762 in the NUDT15 gene, were recently identified by targeted sequencing. The latter is particularly interesting because of its potential association with 6-MP intolerance. Here, we assessed the relationship of this variant with the risk of myelosuppression and 6-MP dose intensity in 275 patients treated with Dana Farber Cancer Institute ALL protocols at the Sainte Justine University Health Center. Carriers of the NUDT15 rs73189762 variant allele were at a higher risk of myelosuppression, as shown by absolute phagocyte count reduction during consolidation II and maintenance phases of therapy. Reduction in 6-MP dose intensity was observed in patients with both rs73189762 and known no-function variants in the NUDT15 and TPMT genes. This finding supports the initial observation and suggests that 6-MP dose reduction might be beneficial for individuals with this genotype combination.","PeriodicalId":19763,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenetics and genomics","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140811476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
