Abstract

As an essential component of consolidation and maintenance therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), mercaptopurine (6‑MP) causes critical myelosuppression. The current study aimed to clarify the reasons for severe myelosuppression and significant hyperpigmentationin a patient with ALL that received consolidation therapy. The present study performed patient NUDT15 testing with fluorescence in situ hybridization and whole‑exome sequencing. The results revealed that the patient was a homozygous carrier (415C>T, TT) for rs116855232 (NUDT15). The dose of 6‑MP was adjusted down from 30%, with the patient receiving maintenance therapy at 8% of the recommended dose. The homozygous mutant (TT genotype) of NUDT15 may cause hematopoietic toxicity with low doses of 6‑MP. NUDT15 genotyping should therefore be performed prior to the administration of thiopurine, the dosage of which requires adjustment.
