An antileukemic agent prescribed for pediatric oncology patients during the maintenance phase of therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), is highly influenced by genetic variations in the thiopurine S-methyltransferase enzyme. As such, 6-MP must be dosed so that patients with 1 or 2 inactive thiopurine S-methyltransferase alleles will not incur an increased risk for my...

متن کاملPharmacogenetics in the clinic
Pharmacogenetics is one of the first clinical applications of the postgenomic era; it studies the role of heritability of drug responses. It promises personalised medicine rather than the established ‘one size fits all’ approach to drugs and dosages. This should ultimately lead to more efficient and safer drug therapy. In recent years, pharmacogenetic information has been included in drug label...
