Summary
DPYD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, HGNC:3012) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p21.3, encoding Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [NADP(+)] (Q12882). Involved in pyrimidine base degradation. In precision oncology, DPYD DPYD*13 HOMOZYGOSITY confers sensitivity to Capecitabine + Fluorouracil + Tegafur in Cancer (CIViC Level A); 3 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below.
The protein encoded by this gene is a pyrimidine catabolic enzyme and the initial and rate-limiting factor in the pathway of uracil and thymidine catabolism. Mutations in this gene result in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency, an error in pyrimidine metabolism associated with thymine-uraciluria and an increased risk of toxicity in cancer patients receiving 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
