Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Gene as a Major Predictor of Severe 5-Fluorouracil Toxicity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The importance of polymorphisms in the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) gene (DPYD) for the prediction of severe toxicity in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) based chemotherapy has been controversially debated. As a key enzyme in the catabolism of 5-FU, DPD is the top candidate for pharmacogenetic studies on 5-FU toxicity, since a reduced DPD activity is thought to result in an increased half-life of the drug, and thus, an increased risk of toxicity. Here, we review the current knowledge on well-known and frequently studied DPYD variants such as the c.1905+1G>A splice site variant, as well as the recent discoveries of important functional variation in the noncoding regions of DPYD. We also outline future directions that are needed to further improve the risk assessment of 5-FU toxicity, in particular with respect to metabolic profiling and in the context of different combination therapeutic regimens, in which 5-FU is used today.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
