Abstract excerpt
Known genetic variations in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (gene name DPYD ) do not fully predict patients at risk for severe fluoropyrimidine-associated chemotherapy toxicity. Dihydropyrimidinase (gene name DPYS ), the second catabolic enzyme in fluoropyrimidine metabolism, has been noted as a potential determinant of variation in fluoropyrimidine metabolism and response. In this study, we genotyped for DPYS...
