Methods of detecting TPMT mutations

摘要

Methods and compositions are described for use in the rapid and simultaneous screening of one or more samples for one or more mutations in the TPMT gene. The methods and compositions of the present invention can be used to rapidly determine if a mutation of the TPMT gene is present in the genome of a subject. Identifying which mutations are present in an individual allows the clinician to design an appropriate therapy using drugs metabolized by TPMT for that individual.
