  1. Prediction accuracies for the last-cycle 6-MP DIP of star-allele-based Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) practice guidelines on NUDT15 and TPMT were compared with the quantitative GVBNUDT15,TPMT and GVBNUDT15,TPMT,CRIM1 methods in the discovery, replication, and combined cohorts. GVB cutoffs were determined by maximizing Youden’s index
  2. IM intermediate metabolizer, PM poor metabolizer
