Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inter-individual differences in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD encoding DPD) and thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) activity are important predictors for fluoropyrimidine and thiopurine toxicity. While several variants in these genes are known to decrease enzyme activities, many additional genetic variations with unclear functional consequences have been identified, complicating informed...
