Dear Gary,
Our laboratory offers genetic testing for the intron 14 skipping mutation in the DPYD gene (DPYD*2A allele), which is the most common mutation associated with DPD deficiency. The analysis takes approx. 7 days and the price is 73.- Euro.
For this analysis we require either a blood sample (1-2 mL in an EDTA tube) or purified DNA (~1µg).
Best regards,
Mike

Subject: DIHYDROPYRIMIDINE DEHYDROGENASE DEFICIENCY (DPD)
Our Oncologists would like to test for this in patients on 5 Flurouracil treatment.
Is there anyone in the UK offering this assay, if so, what sample type, transport requirements, and what is the cost.
Thanks,
