GMPS, guanosine monophosphate synthetase; HGPRT, hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase; IMPDH, inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase; TG, thioguanine; TGMP, thioguanine monophosphate; TGN, thioguanine nucleotides; TIMP, thionosine monophosphate; TXMP, thioxanthosine monophosphate.

Figure 2 (A) Thiopurine dose (as azathioprine equivalents) in TPMT*1/*1 (Δ) and *1/*3 (○) genotypes and in (B) normal (Δ, ≥9.3 IU/mL) phenotypes and intermediate (○, 5–9.2 IU/mL) and presented as mean and 95% CI. †Groups became significantly different (P < .05).

Figure 3 TPMT activity versus weight-adjusted thiopurine dose. Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2008 6, 654-660DOI: (10.1016/j.cgh.2008.02.032) Copyright © 2008 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
Figure 4 (A) Actual and (B) dose-adjusted 6-TGN concentrations versus TPMT genotype at month 9. Data are presented as mean and 95% CI. Mean actual and dose-adjusted 6-TGN concentrations were 2-fold (P = .016) and 3-fold higher (P = .0007) in the TPMT*1/*3 versus the *1/*1 genotype, respectively.
