Nudix hydrolase 15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUDT15 gene.[5]

Function

The NUDT15 gene encodes an

oxidative damage, and can induce base mispairing during DNA replication, causing transversions. The encoded enzyme is a negative regulator of thiopurine activation and toxicity. Mutations in this gene result in poor metabolism of thiopurines, and are associated with thiopurine-induced early leukopenia. Multiple pseudogenes
of this gene have been identified.

NUDT15 germline variants (e.g., a missense SNP:rs116855232, inducing R139C) have been linked to clinical usage of thiopurines (e.g.,

suggesting the whole gene screening should be taken to determine the initial dosage using of thiopurine.
