MIR27A Gene Polymorphism Modifies the Effect of Common DPYD Gene Variants on Severe Toxicity in Patients with Gastrointestinal Tumors Treated with Fluoropyrimidine-Based Anticancer Therapy.

ABSTRACT: To reduce severe fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity, pharmacogenetic guidelines recommend a dose reduction for carriers of four high-risk variants in the DPYD gene (*2A, *13, c.2846A>T, HapB3). The polymorphism in the MIR27A gene has been shown to enhance the predictive value of these variants. Our study aimed to explore whether rs895819 in the MIR27A gene modifies the effect of five common DPYD variants: c.1129-5923C>G (rs75017182, HapB3), c.2194G>A (rs1801160, *6), c.1601G>A (rs1801158, *4), c.496A>G (rs2297595), and c.85T>C (rs1801265, *9A). The study included 370 Caucasian patients with gastrointestinal tumors who received fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy. Genotyping was performed using high-resolution melting analysis. The DPYD*6 allele was as
