Purpose Several clinical guidelines recommend genetic screening of DPYD , including coverage of the variants c.1905 + 1G>A( DPYD *2A), c.1679T>G( DPYD *13), c.2846A>T, and c.1129-5923C>G, before initiating treatment with fluoropyrimidines. However, this screening is often inadequate at predicting the occurrence of severe fluoropyrimidine-induced toxicity in patients. Methods Using a complementary approach combining whole DPYD exome sequencing and in silico and structural analysis, as well as phenotyping of DPD by measuring uracilemia (U), dihydrouracilemia (UH 2 ), and the UH 2 /U ratio in plasma, we were able to characterize and interpret DPYD variants in 28 patients with severe fluoropyrimidine-induced toxicity after negative screening. Results Twenty-five out of 28 patients (90%) had at least 1 variant in the DPYD coding sequence, and 42% of the variants (6/14) were classified as potentially deleterious by at least 2 of the following algorithms: SIFT, Poly-Phen-2, and DPYD varifier. We identified two very rare deleterious mutations, namely, c.2087G>A (p.R696H) and c.2324T>G (p.L775W). We were able to demonstrate partial DPD deficiency, as measured by the UH 2 /U ratio in a patient carrying the variant p.L775W for the first time. Conclusion Whole exon sequencing of DPYD in patients with suspicion of partial DPD deficiency can help to identify rare or new variants that lead to enzyme inactivation. Combining different techniques can yield abundant information without increasing workload and cost burden, thus making it a useful approach for implementation in patient care.
