Popis: Aim: This study aimed to identify DPYD variants and the related but previously unexplored phenotype (plasma uracil, dihydrouracil [DHU], and the DHU-to-uracil ratio) in a healthy adult Indian population. Methods: Healthy adult volunteers (n = 100) had their uracil and DHU levels measured and were genotyped for selected variants. Results: Among the nine variants studied, c.1906-14763G>A and c.85T>C were the most prevalent. Participants with any of the variants except for c.85T>C and c.1627A>G had a significantly lower DHU-to-uracil ratio and those with c.1905+1G>A variant had significantly increased uracil concentration compared with wild-type. Conclusion: Participants with five variants were identified as having altered phenotypic measures, and 40% of the intermediate metabolizers had their phenotype in the terminal population percentiles.
