The influence of NUDT15 variants on 6-mercaptopurine-induced neutropenia in Vietnamese pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) serves as the backbone of maintenance therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X-type motif 15 genes (NUDT15) affects the metabolism of 6-MP and thiopurine-related neutropenia in the Asian population. This study reports the influence of these variants on 6MP-induced neutropenia in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A total of 102 children were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. NUDT15 variants on exon 1 and exon 3 were identified by Sanger sequencing. We divided the intermediate metabolizer group and the normal metabolizer group base on NUDT15 diplotypes. During the first 3 months of maintenance treatment, medical reports measured treatment-related toxicity (neutropenia) and 6-MP dose decreases. NUDT15 genotyping showed two categories of mutations: wild type (75.5%) and heterozygous variant (24.5%). Neutropenia during the early phase of maintenance therapy in the intermediate metabolizer group (68%) was significantly higher than the normal metabolizer group (18.2%) with 10-fold greater odds. Especially, the c.415C>T heterozygous variant was extremely associated with neutropenia compared with the C>C genotype (odds ratio [OR]: 12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.5–41.7). The tolerated doses of 6-MP after the first 3 months of maintenance therapy related to the intermediate metabolizer group and the normal metabolizer group were 48.7 and 64.3 mg/m2/day, respectively (p < 0.001). One-fourth of individuals had NUDT15 variations. All NUDT15 heterozygous mutations cause neutropenia and need 6-MP dose optimization. Given the frequency of NUDT15 mutations in Vietnamese children and their connection with early neutropenia, testing is indicated.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
