Protein [2]
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [NADP(+)]
Synonyms [1]
DHPDHASE, DPD, DHP

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) is a gene that encodes a protein is a pyrimidine catabolic enzyme. Missense mutations, silent mutations, and nonsense mutations are observed in cancers such as skin cancer, colon cancer, and stomach cancer.

DPYD is altered in 1.01% of all cancers with melanoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
