Concordance of Blood-Based and Normal Tissue-Based Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPYD) Genotyping

Oncologist. 2022 May 6;27(5):e420-e421. doi: 10.1093/oncolo/oyac057.

Abstract

In response to the recently published article by Sharma et al, this letter to the editor presents data about the concordance of blood and normal tissue-based evaluation of DPYD genotyping that suggests that pharmacogenetic screening could be contextual to tumor molecular profiling.
