Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) plays a critical role in the metabolism of fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapies such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine, and tegafur. Genetic variants in DPYD can lead to partial or complete enzyme deficiency, resulting in toxic accumulation of these drugs and severe, sometimes fatal, adverse reactions.
