Key Points

  • This research aims to identify uncommon DPYD polymorphisms that increase the risk of fluoropyrimidine toxicity.
  • Retrospective study using genetic data from the Michigan Genomics Initiative institutional biobank.
  • Included adults treated with standard doses of 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine.
  • Analyzed genetic variants for association with toxicity using logistic regression.
  • Composite toxicity endpoint occurred in 25.1% of patients.
  • Carriers of uncommon DPYD variants had significantly higher risk of toxicity (66.7% vs. 23.7%).
  • Testing uncommon variants slightly improved predictive values for toxicity.

Abstract

112 Background: Fluoropyrimidine (FP) chemotherapy can cause life-threatening toxicity, especially in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency. Four DPYD polymorphisms ( DPYD *2A, *13, p.Asp949Val, HapB3) are validated to increase FP toxicity risk but the association for many other DPYD variants has not been demonstrated. This study aims to identify additional DPYD polymorphisms that increase FP-related toxicity. Methods: This retrospective study used genetic data from the Michigan Genomics Initiative institutional biobank, which is linked to the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center electronic medical record. Adults treated with standard doses of systemic FP (5-fluorouracil or capecitabine) for any tumor type with available genetic data were included. The primary toxicity endpoint was a composite of CTCAE grade ≥3 toxicity or treatment modification due to toxicity in the first two FP cycles. A literature-curated list of suspected deleterious DPYD variants beyond the four validated variants was classified as uncommon (minor allele frequency C, p.Val586Ala, rs374527058 0% (0/1) c.557A>G, p.Tyr186Cys, rs115232898 67% (4/6) c.274C>G, p.Pro92Ala, rs143986398 100% (1/1) c.187A>G, p.Lys63Glu, rs367619008 100% (1/1)
