Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation
participants should understand the following:
• Use of pharmacogenetics in understanding patient
susceptibility to 5-FU toxicity
• Toxicity risks associated with variations in the genes
DPYD and TYMS
– DPYD = DPD (Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase)
– TYMS = TS (Thymidylate Synthase)
• Use of genetic test results in medical management

Cancer Genetic Testing
• Hereditary Cancer testing
– What is the likelihood that my patient will develop a future
cancer?
– Example: Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome
• Tumor Characteristic testing
– Are there characteristics about this tumor that would dictate
treatment options?
– Example: HER2/neu testing
• Pharmacogenetic testing
– Does my patient have something innate that will cause him/her
to respond differently to treatment?

Pharmacogenetics
• The study of genetic variation that determines an
individual’s response to drugs
• Pharmacogenetic testing can be beneficial in oncology
because it can help determine
– How a patient will respond to chemotherapy
• Example: cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotype and
ability to metabolize tamoxifen
– The likelihood that a patient will experience severe
side effects
• Example: TheraGuide 5-FU

DPD Deficiency
Mechanism of Action
• Variations in DPYD can lead to DPD insufficiency.
• This results in an inability to inactivate 5-FU leading to
increased levels of active drug in the system that can
result in greater toxicity.

TS Deficiency
Mechanism of Action
• Variations in TYMS can lead to altered TS expression.
• Lower levels of the TS enzyme can lead to
− Increased levels of active 5-FU
− Toxicity

Is toxicity a significant
clinical problem?
• Cassidy study: several patients discontinued treatment
due to related side effects
-6.7% of 5-FU patients
– Of patients who continued treatment following dose
modification (reduced by 25-50%), several continued
to have side effects
• 45/138 Hand Foot Syndrome
• 21/89 Diarrhea
• 6/30 Stomatitis

FDA WARNING
FDA 2003 warning had been issued stating capecitabine and 5-FU
are contraindicated in patients with a known DPD deficiency
FDA package warnings – http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/SAFETY/2003
Who benefits from
TheraGuide 5-FU™?
• 5-FU therapy candidates
• About 1 in 14 (7%) patients treated with 5-FU have
Grade 3-4 toxicity associated with a DPYD or TYMS
gene variation

What are the risks?
• DPYD gene variations are associated with a 7-fold
(or up to a 60%) risk of severe toxicity .

What is included in
TheraGuide 5-FU™ analysis?
• The only clinical test that performs:
– Full sequencing of the DPYD gene and
– Analysis of the TYMS gene promoter region
©2007 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.
TheraGuide 5-FUTM includes full
sequencing of DPYD
• DPYD (DPD deficiency)
– Three common variations account for the majority of
known 5-FU toxicity to date
• IVS14+1 G>A, D949V, and I560S
– More than 40 different variations in DPYD have
been identified as causing DPD deficiency
– Full sequencing is the “gold standard” for identifying
mutations
Mol Cancer Ther 2006. 5(11): 289-291.
©2007 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.
TheraGuide 5-FUTM includes
analysis of TYMS
• TYMS variations
– 2R/2R
– 2R/3R
– 3R/3R
– 4R variations have also been described
• The 2R/2R variation confers a 1.4-2.5-fold increased
risk for adverse events
©2007 Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc.
How are TheraGuide 5-FUTM
results reported?
• As many as 1 in 4 individuals have a variation that
increases the risk for 5-FU related toxicity
– DPYD – 5%
– TYMS – 15-20%
• TheraGuide 5-FU™ is used to determine a patient’s
likelihood of 5-FU toxicity
– High Risk
• 7-fold (or up to 60%) risk for Grade 3 or Grade 4 toxicity
– Moderate Risk
• 1.4 to 2.5-fold (or 23-53%) risk for Grade 3 or Grade 4
toxicity
– Low Risk
• Common causes of 5FU toxicity is ruled out
– Indeterminate
