Fig. 1. NUDT15 genetics and thiopurine-related hematotoxicity.

Fig. 1

(a) Genetic variants detected in the NUDT15 gene region in patients with severe thiopurine-related toxicity. Dark gray arrows indicate variants resulting in variation of the NUDT15 protein sequence. Boxes indicate exons 1–3, and untranslated regions are shown in black. (b) Allele frequency of NUDT15 variants in patients with thiopurine-induced toxicity and individuals of European (non-Finnish) ancestry extracted from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD)14 (see Table S3). P values indicate significant differences in genotype frequency as tested by the Armitage’s trend test. aVariants are not reported in exome or genome sequencing data of gnomAD.14 (c) Pie chart illustrates percentage of patients with variation in TPMT or NUDT15 genetics as well as percentage of patients with allopurinol treatment. Left part shows fractions in all patients (n = 107), whereas fractions in patients (n = 47) who developed toxicity within 3 months after the first administration of therapy are illustrated on the right.
