Cloning and expression of cDNA for human dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase |
abstract |
The invention relates to methods and compositions that are useful for detecting deficiencies in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) levels in mammals including humans. Cancer patients having a DPD deficiency are at risk of a severe toxic reaction to the commonly used anticancer agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Claimed are DPD genes from human and pig, methods for detecting the level of nucleic acids that encode DPD in a patient, and nucleic acids that are useful as probes for this purpose. Also claimed are methods for expressing DPD in heterologous organisms. Expression vectors that employ a DPD nucleic acid as a selectable marker are also claimed. This selectable marker functions in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. |
