Abstract
We evaluated the relationship between the efficacy of low-dose azathioprine (AZA) therapy and the inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) 94C>A (Pro32Thr) polymorphism in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We performed a multiple regression analysis to assess the influence of various factors on the reduction in SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores. The ITPA 94C>A polymorphism had the highest correlation with the change in SLEDAI score (r = 0.354, P = 0.006).Entities:
