Thiopurines, such as mercaptopurine and azathioprine, are purine analogues used in the treatment of hematological malignancies (i.e., acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ALL) and inflammatory conditions (i.e., inflammatory bowel diseases, IBD).

Through a complex anabolic enzymatic pathway, thiopurines are biotransformed into thionucleotides that exert the cytotoxic action responsible for treatment efficacy; thiopurines also undergo catabolic processes, in which the enzyme thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) plays a major role by transforming mercaptopurine into the inactive methylmercaptopurine metabolite.

PACSIN2 (Protein kinase C and casein kinase II interacting protein-2 or Syndapin 2) and its intronic SNP rs2413739 (T>C) have been identified as the most important trans-acting gene and genetic variant influencing TPMT activity.

The PACSIN2 rs2413739 TT genotype, indeed, was associated with lower TPMT activity during maintenance therapy and with an increased incidence of grade III-IV gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities during the consolidation phase. 

The PACSIN2 PCR real time BM-043  is a research use only (RUO) assay that can discriminate between the PACSIN2 CC and PACSIN2 TT variants ensuring valid results in the population screening.
