About this Test:
The TPMT Genotyping Test is an advanced genetic test that detects variations in the Thiopurine Methyl Transferase (TPMT) gene. This enzyme is responsible for metabolizing thiopurine drugs such as Azathioprine, Mercaptopurine, and Thioguanine.
✔ Identifies patients at risk of drug toxicity due to low TPMT activity
✔ Helps doctors adjust thiopurine dosage for safe treatment
✔ Recommended before starting therapy for autoimmune diseases, leukemia, or organ transplant patients
✔ Provides personalized medicine insights in pharmacogenomics
Sanovra Lab offers accurate and reliable TPMT genetic testing with advanced technology, ensuring precision in patient treatment plans.
