New genetic biomarkers predicting azathioprine blood concentrations in combination therapy with 5-aminosalicylic acid.

New genetic biomarkers predicting azathioprine blood concentrations in combination therapy with 5-aminosalicylic acid.

<h4>Background and aims</h4>Azathioprine (AZA) is widely used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. AZA is catabolized by thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT), which exhibits genetic polymorphisms. It has also been reported that 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in...
