CANCER chemotherapyThe article reports on the recommendation by pharmacists about the importance of DPYD gene variant tests for patients undergoing fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy. Topics mentioned include the benefits of testing for patient safety, the identification of alleles to determine the impairment of ...
The genetic deficiency within the DPYD gene individuals enables increased ADRs following fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, triggered by the accumulation of toxic levels of the drug. Therefore, there is an increasingly widespread consensus endorsing DPYD testing and genotype-based dose adjustment to optimiz...

Subjects with a gene activity score of 2 (reference) should receive a standard dose. Based on the DPWG clinical implication score, DPYD genotyping is considered “essential”, therefore directing DPYD testing prior to initiating fluoropyrimidines....
the effect is likely to be small and testing would not be clinically useful (Jennings et al, 2012). The 6-bp deletion in the 30-UTR region of the TYMS gene (TYMS c.1494del6b) has been reported to modulate gene regulation at a post-transcriptional level through decreased mRNA stability ...
impressive article by Hertz I et al i .[1] who vehemently call for a change of the current policy of the US Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) not to recommend genetic testing of the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase ( I DPYD i ) gene prior to initiation of systemic fluoropyr...
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 rs3...
The DPYD gene encodes for enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) which catalyses an essential, rate-limiting step in the metabolism of 5-FU. Heterozygous genomic alteration of DPYD (30-35% of population) result in reduced potency of DPD enzyme, while homozygous DPYD alteration (0.1-0.2% ...
