چکیده

DPYD gene encodes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase which is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the metabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The aim of our study was PCR-RFLP based-genetic testing for the most common 5-FU toxicity-attributable IVS14 + 1G > A DPYD mutation (DPYD(*)2A) in 252 Polish colorectal cancer (CRC) patients treated with this adjuvant chemotherapeutic regimen after surgery. The DPYD(*)2A allele was identified only in one patient: a male who was one of 4 CRC patients suffering from grades 3-4 myelotoxicity upon 5-FU chemotherapy. We conclude that IVS14 + 1G > A DPYD (DPYD(*)2A) variant occurs in the Polish population and is responsible for a significant proportion of life-threatening toxicity of 5-FU.

Investigation of IVS14+ 1G > A polymorphism of DPYD gene in a group of Turkish patients with colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is a critical enzyme in the catabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a drug frequently used in cancer therapy. One of the possible causes of severe 5-FU toxicity is genetic polymorphisms in the DPYD gene, such as IVS14+1G > A. In this study we aimed to investigate the frequency of the IVS14+1G > A mutation in the DPYD gene in Turkish patients with co...

Lethal outcome of a patient with a complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency after administration of 5-fluorouracil: frequency of the common IVS14+1G>A mutation causing DPD deficiency.

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5FU), and it is suggested that patients with a partial deficiency of this enzyme are at risk from developing a severe 5FU-associated toxicity. In this study, we demonstrated that a lethal toxicity after a treatment with 5FU was attributable to a complete deficiency of DPD. Analysis...

Frequency of c.1905+1G>A Mutation in DPD Gene among Patients with Colorectal Cancer in Mazandaran Province

Background and purpose: 5-Flourouracil (5-FU) is one of the most common chemical drugs used in chemotherapy of patients with cancers. Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is a critical enzyme in the catabolism of 5-FU. More than 80% of the administered 5-FU is catabolized by DPD. c.1905+1G>A mutation on DPD gene is the most important mutation associated with DPD enzymatic deficiency which lead...

Increased risk of grade IV neutropenia after administration of 5-fluorouracil due to a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency: high prevalence of the IVS14+1g>a mutation.

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and it is suggested that patients with a partial deficiency of this enzyme are at risk of developing severe 5-FU-associated toxicity. We evaluated the importance of DPD deficiency, gender and the presence of the IVS14+1G>A mutation in the etiology of 5-FU toxicity. In 61% of...

High-resolution melting analysis of the common c.1905+1G>A mutation causing dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency and lethal 5-fluorouracil toxicity

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency is a pharmacogenetic syndrome associated with life-threatening toxicity following exposure to the fluoropyrimidine drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine (CAP), widely used for the treatment of colorectal cancer and other solid tumors. The most prominent loss-of-function allele of the DPYD gene is the splice-site mutation c.1905+1G>A. In th...
