Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to identify DPYD variants and the related but previously unexplored phenotype (plasma uracil, dihydrouracil [DHU], and the DHU-to-uracil ratio) in a healthy adult Indian population. Methods: Healthy adult volunteers (n = 100) had their uracil and DHU levels measured and were genotyped for selected variants. Results: Among the nine variants studied, c.1906-14763G>A and c.85T>C were the most prevalent. Participants with any of the variants except for c.85T>C and c.1627A>G had a significantly lower DHU-to-uracil ratio and those with c.1905+1G>A variant had significantly increased uracil concentration compared with wild-type. Conclusion: Participants with five variants were identified as having altered phenotypic measures, and 40% of the intermediate metabolizers had their phenotype in the terminal population percentiles.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
