This is a missense variant in the DPYD gene.

Key Literature Trait Associations

Fluoropyrimidine Toxicity

DPYD*13 (I560S) causes complete loss of DPD enzyme function through a critical amino acid substitution. Although very rare, its clinical severity is equivalent to *2A — carriers are at high risk of fatal toxicity from 5-fluorouracil and capecitabine. CPIC and EMA include *13 in the recommended pre-treatment DPYD testing panel, and fluoropyrimidines are contraindicated in homozygous carriers.

DPYDGenotyping to Predict Adverse Events Following Treatment With Fluorouracil-Based Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Stage III Colon Cancer
AssociationN=1,545Valérie Boige et al.(2016)· JAMA Oncology

This pharmacogenetic secondary analysis of 1,545 stage III colon cancer patients from the PETACC-8 trial identified two DPYD variants significantly associated with grade 3+ fluorouracil-related adverse events: D949V (rs67376798, OR 6.3, p<0.001) and V732I/DPYD*6 (rs1801160, OR 1.7, p<0.001). The V732I association was validated in an independent cohort of 339 metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with FOLFOX regimens.

An SNP in CYP39A1 is associated with severe neutropenia induced by docetaxel
AssociationN=1,529Toshitaka Uchiyama et al.(2012)· Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology

This pooled analysis of 6 randomized phase 3 trials (1529 patients with advanced NSCLC) demonstrates that chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) is a significant prognostic factor associated with longer overall survival, particularly severe CIN (HR 0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.95). The study does not analyze genetic polymorphisms but discusses the potential role of pharmacogenetic factors in predicting CIN risk, including SNPs in drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and DNA repair genes.
