Abstract

The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) among Hispanic/Latine communities is increasing. Pharmacogenomic studies reveal genetic markers that influence treatment decisions. The aim of our study was to examine the frequency and impact of genetic polymorphisms on thiopurine-associated leukopenia (NUDT15, TPMT) and anti-TNF immunogenicity (HLA-DQA1*05) in a cohort of Hispanic patients of diverse ancestral backgrounds.
