DPYD Phenotype details
What DPYD Phenotype shows
This result is not measured directly. It is a predicted phenotype, worked out from your DPYD genotype, describing whether the DPD enzyme is likely to have normal, intermediate or poor activity. DPD is the main enzyme that breaks down the chemotherapy drugs fluorouracil and capecitabine. Reduced activity means these drugs can build up and cause severe side effects, so the result helps oncologists plan treatment. Because only known variants are tested, a normal prediction does not guarantee normal enzyme activity. The underlying genotype is lifelong and does not change, and results are applied by your care team.
Tests that include DPYD Phenotype
Pharmacogenomics Panel reporting genotype/phenotype only. Genetics can play a significant role in the selection of certain medications. For instance, individuals may metabolize medications too fast or too slow. This test analyzes genes of known pharmacogenomic value allowing clinicians to gain valuable insight into an individual's response to and adverse effects from medications with known gene-drug interactions. For reporting that includes medication guidance please reference: Pharmacogenomics panel with Coriell Life Sciences (CLS) Report, test code 14271.
