Clinical Relevance of Novel Polymorphisms in the Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPYD) Gene in Patients with Severe Fluoropyrimidine Toxicity: A Spanish Case-Control Study

Among cancer patients treated with fluoropyrimidines, 10–40% develop severe toxicity. Polymorphism of the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene may reduce DPD function, the main enzyme responsible for the metabolism of fluoropyrimidines. This leads to drug accumulation and to an increased risk...
