NUDT15 polymorphism influences the metabolism and therapeutic effects of acyclovir and ganciclovir

Nucleoside analogs (NNA), such as acyclovir (ACV) and ganciclovir (GCV), are widely used as anti-virals to treat herpes virus infection. Here, Nishii et al. show that diphosphatase NUDT15 hydrolyzes ACV and GCV, therewith reducing NNA activity in vitro and link NUDT15 variation to inter-patient vari...
