  1. ALL acute lymphoblastic leukemia, DIP (%) the last-cycle 6-MP dose intensity percentage, PAF population attributable fraction, PPV positive predictive value, NNT number needed to treat, NNG number needed to genotype, NPV negative predictive value, OR odds ratio, M poor metabolizer, IM intermediate metabolizer, STARNUDT15, TPMT classical star (*) allele-based haplotyping of NUDT15 and TPMT genes according to the CPIC guideline, GVB gene-wise variant burden, GVBCRIM1^(rs13306435, rs3821169*), GVB of CRIM1 dependent on IL6 rs13306435 or CRIM1 rs3821169 homozygote, GVB cutoff value of 0.3 was selected as maximized Youden’s index.
  2. Bold number means True Positive (TP) group, True Negative (TN) group and patients with thiopurine intolerance(DIP<25%). For example, In Table 3a, 23 means TP group and 219 means TN group. 44 indicates that number of patients with thiopurine intolerance(DIP<25%) is 44. Additionally, the most strongest statistical parameter numbers related to clinical validity at the bottom of the table was highlighted in bold. For example, prediction model (g) and (e) showed the most desirable Sensitivity(70.46%) among all prediction models. In a similar aspect, model (f) showed the best effectiveness in number needed to trat (NNT, 3.673) and number needed to genotype (NNG, 12.503).
