1 NUDT15 R139C variation increases the risk of azathioprine-induced toxicity in Chinese subjects: Case report and literature review. Azathioprine nudix hydrolase 15 Homo sapiens
2 Recent studies found that NUDT15 R139C polymorphism is strongly associated with AZA-induced leukopenia in Koreans. Azathioprine nudix hydrolase 15 Homo sapiens
3 Here, we report a case of a Chinese patient with Sjogren syndrome (SS) with wild-type TPMT*3C who was diagnosed with AZA-induced severe toxicity due to NUDT15 mutation based on clinical and laboratory characteristics. Azathioprine nudix hydrolase 15 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: In this report, we first provide detailed clinical and laboratory characteristics of AZA-induced leukopenia in a patient with SS with a mutant NUDT15 R139C genotype (TT allele) and normal TPMT activity. Azathioprine nudix hydrolase 15 Homo sapiens
