Product Description
Reference materials for Pharmacogenetics (PGx)
SensID has developed a totally platform agnostic control for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD; DHP; DPD; DHPDHASE) testing. The implemented variants were selected based on publications and suggestions of various working groups and key opinion leaders who support the implementation of DPYD testing. Authorities like EMA and NHS are recommending that all patients have to be tested for DPYD deficiency prior to systemic therapy with the FU-containing drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), Capecitabine, Tegafur and Flucytosine. This product consist of a set of gDNA at either 0%, 50% or 100% mutated gene with a highly characterized genomic background. Mutations in this gene result in DPYD deficiency, an error in pyrimidine metabolism associated with thymine-uraciluria and an increased risk of toxicity in cancer patients receiving 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy.
Therapeutic indications where DPYD mutation status is relevant:
- colorectal cancer
- gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, oesophageal cancer
- breast cancer
- squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
- biliary tract cancers
- Non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- Systemic yeast and fungal infections due to sensitive organisms
This product is ideal for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows. In particular:
– Validation and development of sequencing protocols (e.g. Whole Genome Sequencing (WES), Amplicon Sequencing) and PCR protocols
– Calibration and development of instruments and workflows in DNA processing (e.g. DNA fragmentation via acoustic shearing, enzymatic digestion or sonication)
– Analyze the performance of your NGS pipeline by comparing to freely available datasets
