IU Genetic Testing Laboratories, Indiana University School of Medicine RCV003332223 SCV004037593 drug response 5-fluorouracil response no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The Arg235Gln (c.704G>A, rs755416212) variant in DPYD has been reported in a patient presenting with hematuria diagnosed with DPD deficiency. The patient was compound heterozygous for DPYD p.R235Q and p.C79X variants. DPYD analysis of the parents revealed the proband mother’s DPD activity to be 50% below the population average with ex-vivo DPD testing using PBMCs (PMID: 18600544). Most recently, the Arg235Gln variant has been reported associated with life-threatening 5-fluorouracil toxicity in an individual of South Asian Indian descent in a case report (PMID: 32923881). Additionally, in-vitro function studies show Arg235Gln disrupts FAD binding (PMID: 20831907 and 21420945) and significantly reduces DPD function to 12% of wild-type activity which was similar to another known non-functional DPYD allele tested in the same assay, Arg235Trp (c.703C>T, rs1801266, legacy name: DPYD*8) (PMID: 32923881). This allele has been reported in 3 individuals of the European (non-Finnish) population according to gnomad with an overall allele frequency of 0.00001. In summary, the Arg235Gln variant meets the criteria to be classified as drug response and also likely pathogenic for DPD deficiency based on the previous segregation study and case report, variant absent from controls, and functional studies.
