| Usage: | 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a commonly used anticancer drug. It functions by irreversibly inhibiting thymidylate synthase. 5-FU is widely used in a number of cancers worldwide. Detoxification of 5-FU is mediated by the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) gene. Apart from 5-FU, the gene also is involved in the detoxification of Capecitabine, and Tegafur. Genetic variations in the gene can cause a partial or complete deficiency of function, which may lead to severe drug toxicity. | ||||||
