Frequency of thiopurine methyltransferase mutation in patients of Mediterranean area with inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disorders

Few studies exist on the frequency of thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) mutation in patients from Southern Europe. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of TPMT mutation in a homogeneous Sicilian cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autoimmune and hematological disorders, the rate of thiopurine-related adverse events, and its association with the TPMT genotype.
