Descriptor English: Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Descriptor Spanish: Deficiencia de Dihidropirimidina Deshidrogenasa
Descriptor deficienia de dihidropirimidina deshidrogenasa
Scope note: Trastorno autosómico recesivo que afecta a la DIHIDROPIRIMIDINA DESHIDROGENASA y causa pirimidinemia familiar. Se caracteriza por tiamina-uraciluria en pacientes homocigotos deficientes. Incluso una deficiencia parcial en la enzima deja a los individuos en riesgo de padecer toxicidad relacionada con 5-FLUOROURACILO.

Scope note: An autosomal recessive disorder affecting DIHYDROPYRIMIDINE DEHYDROGENASE and causing familial pyrimidinemia. It is characterized by thymine-uraciluria in homozygous deficient patients. Even a partial deficiency in the enzyme leaves individuals at risk for developing severe 5-FLUOROURACIL-associated toxicity.
