Abstract excerpt
Fluoropyrimidines are chemotherapy drugs that may cause severe adverse events, and their metabolism occurs by dihydropyrimidine deydrogenase (DPD), coded by DPYD. Variants in the DPYD were associated to a greater risk of toxicity. Our aim was to determine the frequency of the most relevant DPYD alleles according to CPIC guidelines (DPYD*2A-rs3918290, DPYD*13-rs55886062, rs67376798, and HapB3-rs75017182) in a...
