Abstract
The invention provides an assay useful in predicting risk of 5-fluorouracil (FU) toxicity in a subject. The subject may be screened for the presence of at least one TYMS polymorphism and/or at least one DPYD polymorphism. Suitable TYMS and DPYD polymorphisms are provided. The presence of one or more of the polymorphisms indicates an increased risk of developing FU toxicity; a negative result may indicate a decreased risk of developing FU toxicity.
