Effect of Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms on Eltrombopag Reactivity in Japanese Patients with Immune Thrombocytopenia

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by low platelet counts resulting from antiplatelet autoantibodies. Analysis of polymorphisms in cytokine-encoding genes is important for understanding the pathophysiology of ITP and selecting appropriate treatments. We investigated associations between polymorphisms in cytokine-encoding genes and responses to therapy in Japanese patients with ITP.The participants in...
