Know more about this test
The DPD/DPYD Mutation Analysis test detects mutations in the DPYD gene, which provides instructions for making the enzyme Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD). This enzyme is essential for breaking down certain chemotherapy medicines like 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Capecitabine. The test helps identify individuals who may have DPD deficiency, a condition that can cause severe or even life-threatening side effects when treated with standard doses of these medicines. Early detection allows doctors to adjust chemotherapy doses or choose alternative treatments for safer and more effective care. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Varanasi.
