About test

Partial or complete deficiency of DPD activity has been associated with an increased risk for severe adverse reactions when treated with pyrimidine-based chemotherapeutic agents, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The test can also be used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency in affected patients and for the detection of the IVS14+1G>A mutation in asymptomatic carriers.
