The present study was conducted to assess the population pharmacokinetics of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and genetic polymorphisms
The investigators' purpose was to identify genetic factors and metabolite concentrations associated with both hematological toxicity in patients with ALL maintained on 6-MP in Chinese.

Dose of mercaptopurine was adjusted to maintain a target white blood cells (WBC) between 2.0-3.0 × 109/L.
Red blood cells (RBC) concentration of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)
To detect of RBC 6-MP metabolite concentrations and evaluate the association of metabolite concentrations and side effects
Time frame: at second day after oral administration
Genetic polymorphisms in Chinese patients with ALL
To detect the frequencies of genetic polymorphisms of Chinese patients receiving 6-MP for treatment of ALL
Time frame: at second day after oral administration
