Understanding TPMT and NUDT15 Gene Analysis
TPMT (thiopurine S-methyltransferase) and NUDT15 (nudix hydrolase 15) gene analysis is an important test that helps doctors personalize treatment, especially for patients taking thiopurine medications. Thiopurines are strong drugs used to treat conditions like leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but they can sometimes cause serious side effects, such as neutropenia (decreased white blood cells).
These genes control enzymes that break down thiopurines in the body. Changes (variants) in these genes can af...
What does TPMT and NUDT15 Gene Analysis measure?
The TPMT and NUDT15 Gene Analysis is a genetic test that examines TPMT and NUDT15 genes, which play a key role in metabolizing thiopurine medications. This test helps doctors choose the safest and most effective dose of drugs like mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and thioguanine, reducing the risk of serious side effects such as low white blood cells or bone marrow problems.
