Abstrakt: Background: Mercaptopurine is a key agent in childhood leukemia treatment. Genetic polymorphism in the genes involving thiopurine metabolisms is related to 6-MP related toxicity. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ITPA:c.94C>A and NUDT15:c.415C>T polymorphisms among Thai children diagnosed with leukemia and their association with mercaptopurine-related myelotoxicity. Methods: Patients and survivors with a diagnosis of leukemia treated with mercaptopurine-containing chemotherapy regimens were enrolled. Clinical data and laboratory parameters during treatment as well as ITPA:c.94C>A and NUDT15:c.415C>T genotypes were analyzed. Results: In all, 99 patients with acute leukemia or survivors were enrolled in the study. The prevalences of ITPA:c.94C>A, NUDT15:c.415C>T, and co-occurrence of ITPA:c.94C>A and NUDT15:c.415C>T polymorphisms were 34, 17, and 4%, respectively. Numbers of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and platelet count significantly decreased among patients carrying NUDT15:c.415C>T compared with NUDT15 wild type patients with p-values< 0.001 and 0.019, respectively. The differences were not observed among patients carrying ITPA:c.94C>A compared with ITPA wild type patients. According to multivariate GEE, NUDT15:c.415C>T and co-occurrence of ITPA:c.94C>A and NUDT15:c.415C>T had a significant negative effect on ANC during treatment (coefficient: − 463.81; CI: − 778.53, − 149.09; p-value=0.004 and coefficient: − 527.56; CI: − 1045.65, − 9.48; p-value=0.046). No significant effect of ITPA:c.94C>A on ANC during treatment was observed. Conclusion: ITPA:c.94C>A and NUDT15:c.415C>T polymorphisms are common among Thai children with leukemia. A strong association with mercaptopurine-related myelotoxicity was observed among patients carrying either NUDT15:c.415C>T alone or combined with ITPA:c.94C>A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
