The clinical relevance of multiple DPYD polymorphisms on patients candidate for fluoropyrimidine based-chemotherapy. An Italian case-control study
12 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Deleterious polymorphisms in the gene encoding DPD (DPYD) may result in severe reduction of DPD enzymatic activity that causes life-threatening toxicities when the standard dose of fluorouracil is used. The best panel of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of DPYD is not well defined. METHODS: In 2011, we began screening DPYD*2A in patients candidate for fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy. We...
