Background: Thiopurines are a mainstay of immunomodulator therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite their efficacy, some patients may have a poor response due to inability to achieve adequate levels of the active metabolite, 6-thioguanine (6-TGN). Others experience hepatotoxicity, which c
## Background: Interindividual variation in response to anti-tnfalpha therapy may be explained by genetic variability in disease pathogenesis or mechanism of action. recent genome-wide association studies (gwas) in inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) have increased our understanding of the genetic sus
Background: Circulating concentrations of 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) and 6-methyl mercaptopurine (6-MMP) are associated with thiopurine efficacy and may predict toxicity. This study aimed to examine retrospectively the utility of measuring metabolite concentrations in patients with inflammator
