Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To assess the association of DPYS and UPB1 genetic variation, encoding the catabolic enzymes downstream of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, with early-onset toxicity from fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy. PATIENTS & METHODS: The coding and exon-flanking regions of both genes were sequenced in a discovery subset (164 patients). Candidate variants were genotyped in the full cohort of 514 patients. RESULTS...
