LOINC long common name : DPYD gene targeted mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : DPYD gene Mut Anl Bld/T;
LOINC description : The test includes targeted analysis of variants in the DPYD gene by various molecular
pathology methods, including PCR and sequencing. Testing may be performed to identifying
individuals at increased risk of toxicity when considering 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and
capecitabine chemotherapy treatment. Variations detected in the DPYD gene are also
associated with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency.;
