Implementing pharmacogenetic testing in fluoropyrimidine-treated cancer patients: DPYD genotyping to guide chemotherapy dosing in Greece
14 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), encoded by DPYD gene, is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for fluoropyrimidine (FP) catabolism. DPYD gene variants seriously affect DPD activity and are well validated predictors of FP-associated toxicity. DPYD variants rs3918290, rs55886062, rs67376798, and rs75017182 are currently included in FP genetic-based dosing guidelines and are recommended for...
