Another approach is to determine DPD activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, with low activity suggesting an increased risk of toxicity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Current research suggests that nearly 8% of the population has at least partial DPD deficiency. [en.wikipedia.org]
Less severe, hemizygous chromosome deletions encompassing part of the DPYD gene have also been suggested to contribute to ASD independent of intellectual disability. [mayo.edu]

Kong Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency is an inborn error of pyrimidine metabolism characterised by thymine-uraciluria, convulsive disorders and developmental delay in paediatric patients, and an increased risk of toxicity from 5-fluorouracil treatment [hkmj.org]
We also discuss whether screening for DPD deficiency is warranted to identify patients at risk for severe toxicities from 5-FU treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
To date, screening of patients for the presence of a DPD deficiency prior to the treatment is not yet routinely performed. [doi.org]

This recommendation is further confounded by the therapeutic dilemma that tumors with low DPD levels are associated with improved 5-FU sensitivity 30,31 and better prognosis than high level DPD tumors. 32,33 Capecitabine offers an improved safety profile [pjms.com.pk]
Etiology
DPD deficiency might be an etiological factor in the clinical picture of these patients. An autosomal recessive mode of inheritance of this deficiency was found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On the one hand, the differential diagnosis of a skin reaction in a cancer patient with chemotherapy treatment includes a large number of etiologies: toxicity by the drug itself, infections, paraneoplastic syndromes, tumour dissemination, or nutritional [omicsonline.org]
In conclusion, a partial DPD deficiency appears to play an important role in the etiology of 5FU-associated toxicity. [clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]
Her CBC revealed leucopenia (1.600×10 9 /l), neutropenia (0.421×10 9 /l), and thrombocytopenia (41×10 9 /l), and after admission, the patient also manifested a fever of unidentified etiology. [kjim.org]
Epidemiology
Future epidemiological studies would be helpful to determine the prevalence of DPD deficiency among racial and ethnic groups, allowing for the optimization of 5-FU chemotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

With the ever-increasing number of patients with cancer likely to be treated with fluoropyrimidines, predicting and preventing the occurrence of such toxicities is now a major issue in clinical oncology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
