Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-related adverse events (AEs) in Japanese patients with gastrointestinal cancer treated with 5-FU and the patient genotypes DPYD, MTHFR, OPRT, and TYMS. Methods: Sequence analyses of 33 gene polymorphisms in four genes were performed using genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 88 patients with gastric (n = 30) or colorectal (n = 58) cancer. The associations between the incidence of AEs and each genotype were statistically analyzed. Results: The patients carrying any one of three DPYD SNPs (c.496A>G, c.1905+1G>A, and c.2303C>A) showed statistically significant associations with the incidence of AEs, especially fatigue, and the MTHFR SNP c.1298A>C was significantly associated with the incidence of neutropenia. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the genetic polymorphisms of DPYD and MTHFR may be predictive factors for the occurrence of severe 5-FU-related AEs.
