DNA analysis is performed by allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) to detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the DPYD gene and to assign variant DPYDc.1905+1G>A (previously *2A. rs3918290), c.1679T>G (previously *13, rs55886062), c.2846A>G (rs115232898) alleles. Reference denotes detection of the wild-type sequence at the assessed positions. No other variants in this gene are detected by this assay.

Detects DPYD gene variants. Guides fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy dosing to prevent toxicity.
Whole Blood or LabCorp buccal swab kit (buccal swab collection kit contains 4 swabs and instructions for use of a buccal swab)
2 mL whole blood or one buccal swab kit (4 swabs)
Lavender-top (EDTA) tube or yellow-top (ACD) tube or LabCorp buccal swab kit
No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat, drink, and take your medications as normal, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
This test does not require any special collection or pre-analytical handling. Follow routine specimen collection protocols.
