Abstract
Background Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is agent causing hepatitis worldwide. Originally considered to be limited to developing countries, this virus was also detected in developed countries. In recent years an increasing number of reports indicate that farmed domestic pigs are widely infected with HEV in several European countries. The HEV status in Slovakia is still missing. Results In this study, the circulation of HEV among domestic swine in Slovakia and genetic diversity of the virus was studied. Overall HEV RNA was detected in 53/388 (13.7, 95% CI: 10.40–17.48%) pig rectal swabs in five production stages (age categories) with statistically significant differences among all the stages. The highest HEV prevalence was observed in weaners 24/81 (29.6, 95% CI: 19.99–40.81%) and then significantly declined in growers and fatteners. No HEV was detected in suckling piglets and sows. Twenty-eight partial sequences of ORF1 (242 bp) and seventeen of ORF2 (304 bp) were analysed. Phylogenetic analysis and p-distance comparisons confirmed in both ORFs that all Slovak HEV sequences belong to the genotype HEV-3, major clade 3abchij with higher identity to 3a and 3i subtypes. Three sequences were outside of all lastly updated HEV-3 subtypes. Conclusion This is the first report to fill the information gap about HEV infection in pigs in Slovakia. The results suggested a lower prevalence of HEV in Slovak pig farms than observed in other European countries. While most HEV isolates were typed as HEV-3 clade 3abchij, three sequences were unclassified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Stage II colon cancer is primarily a surgical disease. Only a still not well-defined subset of patients may benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The relationship between adjuvant chemotherapy and survival after relapse is furthermore still not definitely explored in this group of patients. A number of reports suggest some association between defective mismatch repair (dMMR) and colorectal cancer stage II prognosis, but due to contradictory results from existing studies, the exact predictive role is still not fully understood. METHODS Retrospective multicenter study including 451 stage II colon cancer patients. The proficiency or deficiency of mismatch repair was tested using immunohistochemistry and analyzed in relationship to two survival outcomes: overall survival (OS) and postrelapse survival. RESULTS Patients with dMMR (20.4%) derived no OS benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47-2.38; P = .897). Patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) tumors receiving adjuvant chemotherapy had the significantly better OS in comparison to those not receiving chemotherapy (HR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.35-0.82; P = .004). This relationship remained significant in multivariable analysis (HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.22-0.78; P = .007). Patients with pMMR relapsing after adjuvant treatment lived significantly longer than those relapsing without previous adjuvant treatment (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.32-0.96; P = .033) and this result remained significant in the multivariable model (HR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.26-0.93; P = .030). CONCLUSION In stage II CC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy improves therapeutic outcomes only in patients with pMMR tumors. Survival after relapse in patients having received adjuvant chemotherapy is significantly longer for patients with pMMR. No survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy was seen among patients with dMMR tumors.

Abstract
The aim of this work was the genetic typing of RVA isolates originating from pigs and human patients in Slovakia. Seventy-eight rectal swabs from domestic pigs and 30 stool samples from humans were collected. The whole VP7 (G genotypes), VP6 (I genotypes) and partial VP4 (P genotypes) ORFs were amplified by RT-PCR. Genetic variability was higher amongst porcine sequences, where four G genotypes (G3, G4, G5, G11), two P genotypes (P[6], P[13]) and one I5 genotype were detected. Human RVA strains were represented by two G genotypes (G1, G3), two I genotypes (I1, I2), and one P genotype (P[8]). Genetic analysis did not show a relationship between Slovakian porcine and human RVA strains, but phylogenetic grouping of some Slovakian porcine sequences with Hungarian human sequences in both G and P genotypes was observed.

Abstract
Simple Summary Articular cartilage reconstruction is aimed at the restoration of damaged joint cartilage. The use of bone cement is one type of method applicable for this reconstruction. The potential use of repair techniques must be evaluated by pre-clinical and clinical studies in animal models, including the assessment of some biochemical parameters. Acute-phase proteins are a class of proteins whose concentrations increase in response to injury or inflammation. They may serve as useful biomarkers for the evaluation of post-operative complications, as well as to reflect the extent of surgical trauma. Information regarding their usefulness after cartilage reconstruction are still limited. Similarly, little is known about the response of the organism to various reconstruction techniques and various biomaterials used for the repair of defects. This paper provides important information about the changes in the concentrations of acute-phase proteins and the activity of serum enzymes in pigs within the first 30 days following the repair of experimentally induced articular cartilage defects using tetracalcium phosphate/nanomonetite cement powder (C cement) and cement powder containing aminoacids (CAK cement). Marked inflammatory responses with increased acute-phase proteins concentrations were observed following the reconstruction of articular cartilage defects using both types of biocement powder. The results suggest, that the tetracalcium phosphate/nanomonetite cement powder without amino acids would be more suitable for possible cartilage repair in the human population. Abstract The objective of the study was to assess the usefulness of acute-phase proteins (APPs) and serum enzymes in the evaluation of post-operative state after cartilage reconstruction in an animal model (Sus scrofa domesticus). Fifteen clinically healthy female pigs were evaluated during the first 30 days after the repair of experimentally induced articular cartilage defects using two types of biocement powders. Animals were divided into groups according to the type of biocement powder used: CAK—with amino acids (n = 6), C—without amino acids (n = 6) and the control group (Ctr) was without biocement (n = 3). The concentrations of selected APPs—serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and the activities of some serum enzymes—creatine kinase (CK), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LD) were measured one day before the surgery and on days 7, 14, and 30 after the surgical intervention. The most significant changes during the evaluated period were observed in the concentrations of SAA (p < 0.001) and Hp (p < 0.001), with marked increase of values 7 days after surgery. There was a numerical, but not statistically significant, difference between CAK, C and Ctr groups (p > 0.05). Marked variations were observed also in the activities of the evaluated enzymes, with the most significant changes in the activity of AP in the CAK group (p < 0.001). Presented results suggest possible usefulness of some APPs and serum enzymes in the evaluation of post-operative inflammatory state after the reconstruction of articular cartilage defects.

Abstract
Although several new implants have been developed using animal studies for the treatment of osteochondral and cartilage defects, there is a lack of information on the possible metabolic and biochemical reactions of the body to the implantation of biomaterials and cartilage reconstruction. Therefore, this study was aimed at evaluating the serum protein pattern and the alterations in the concentrations of selected acute phase proteins in five clinically healthy female sheep before and after the reconstruction of experimentally induced articular cartilage defects using polyhydroxybutyrate/chitosan based biopolymer material. The concentrations of total serum proteins (TSP), protein fractions, and selected acute phase proteins-serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), and C-reactive protein (CRP)-were measured before and on days seven, 14, and 30 after the surgical intervention. The TSP concentrations showed no marked differences during the evaluated period. Albumin values decreased on day seven and day 14 after surgery. In the concentrations of α₁-, α₂-, β-, and γ₂-globulins, a gradual significant increase was observed during the postoperative period (p < 0.05). The γ₁-globulins decreased slightly seven days after surgery. The concentrations of SAA, Hp, and CRP increased significantly after the surgical intervention with a subsequent decrease on day 30. Presented results suggest marked alterations in the serum protein pattern after surgical intervention.

Abstract
The paper presents the results of our effort to reveal objective parameters for evaluation of the spa treatment for patients with anxiety-depressive disorders. The study was based on our previous experience with neuroactive steroids and neurosteroids, which play a crucial role in the psychological well-being of patients by maintaining balance of the organism. A total number of 94 steroids were determinated in a group of 70 female patients diagnosed with anxiety-depressive disorders. Patients underwent a month spa treatment while maintaining unchanged medication dosing with SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). The other investigated factors contributing to improving the health of treated subjects were amino-acid homocysteine and serotonin. The blood samples were collected at the beginning and the end of the spa treatment. Serotonin in all patients increased by a relative 23 % (results given as relative differences in percent), while homocysteine decreased by 17.1 %. Statistically significant increases were found in 21 steroids, which indicate activation of the adrenal cortex. It can be assumed, that the overall improvement in the mental condition of patients, which was proved by questionnaire from Knobloch and Hausner, the increase in immune suppressive substances and anti-autoimmune responses, will maintain for a longer time after the spa treatment.

Abstract
Background Surveillance and characterization of pig enteric viruses such as transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), rotavirus, astrovirus (PAstV), sapovirus (PSaV), kobuvirus and other agents is essential to evaluate the risks to animal health and determination of economic impacts on pig farming. This study reports the detection and genetic characterization of PAstV, PSaV in healthy and diarrheic domestic pigs and PEDV and TGEV in diarrheic pigs of different age groups. Results The presence of PAstV and PSaV was studied in 411 rectal swabs collected from healthy (n = 251) and diarrheic (n = 160) pigs of different age categories: suckling (n = 143), weaned (n = 147) and fattening (n = 121) animals on farms in Slovakia. The presence of TGEV and PEDV was investigated in the diarrheic pigs (n = 160). A high presence of PAstV infections was detected in both healthy (94.4%) and diarrheic (91.3%) pigs. PSaV was detected less often, but also equally in clinically healthy (8.4%) and diarrheic (10%) pigs. Neither TGEV nor PEDV was detected in any diarrheic sample. The phylogenetic analysis of a part of the RdRp region revealed the presence of all five lineages of PAstV in Slovakia (PAstV-1 – PAstV-5), with the most frequent lineages being PAstV-2 and PAstV-4. Analysis of partial capsid genome sequences of the PSaVs indicated that virus strains belonged to genogroup GIII. Most of the PSaV sequences from Slovakia clustered with sequences originating from neighbouring countries. Conclusions Due to no significant difference between healthy and diarrheic pigs testing of the presence of PAstV and PSaV provides no diagnostic value. Genetic diversity of PAstV was very high as all five lineages were identified in pig farms in Slovakia. PSaV strains were genetically related to the strains circulating in Central European region.

Abstract
This report describes the first disease outbreak caused by chimeric swine enteric coronavirus (SeCoV) on two pig farms in Slovakia in early 2015. The infection was introduced by import of two breeding boars which were placed in provisional quarantine in a unit not strictly separated from other healthy pigs in the same building. Subsequently, loss of appetite and diarrhoea were observed in both boars during the first three days in the isolation unit. The infection gradually spread to the farrowing area and throughout the farm in two weeks and later to another nearby farm. Yellow watery diarrhoea accompanied by dehydration and death was observed in piglets with a mortality ranging from 30 to 35%. In the absence of an available vaccine, the pregnant sows were dosed by mouth with a 10% suspension prepared from the intestine and faeces of infected piglets in warm water. Three weeks after dosing, new litters of piglets were born which remained healthy with no development of diarrhoea.

Abstract
Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of hepatitis E — an emerging zoonotic disease distributed worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HEV in Slovakian domestic pigs, as this has not been studied yet. Clinical samples (n = 269) from fourteen randomly selected domestic pig farms for three different age categories of pigs were analysed and the subsequently detected isolates were genetically characterized. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis revealed that 32 pigs (11.9 %) of all age categories were HEV RNA positive. The highest occurrence was detected in fattening pigs (14.8 %) and the lowest in weaning pigs (12.5 %). The HEV RNA was not observed at all in the youngest category (the suckling piglets). The phylogenetic analysis revealed that all Slovak HEV isolates clustered into two genetic groups of the genotype HEV-3.

Abstract
The porcine kobuvirus 1 (PKV-1) is believed to be an enteric virus. To investigate the prevalence of PKV-1 in pigs, virus was detected by RT-PCR in rectal swabs originating from 414 healthy and diarrheic pigs of different age categories on farms in Slovakia. Among all ages of animals, PKV-1 was detected equally in diarrheic (63.8%) and clinically healthy (62.9%) pigs. PKV-1 was more often detected in diarrheic (74.6%) than in healthy (64.4%) suckling piglets (<28days) but data was not statistically significant. Results in weaned (28-70days) and fattening (>70days) of both healthy and diarrheic pigs were inconsistent ranging in interval 56.2% to 67.9%. This study did not confirm a clear relationship of PKV-1 infection with diarrhea in pigs. Rotavirus A infection was detected among the same animals in 39% diarrheic and 9.2% healthy suckling piglets (p<0.001) confirming rotavirus as a causative agent of diarrhea in this age group. The difference was not significant in older pigs with both diarrheic and healthy pigs being infected within a range of 0% to 12.2%. Co-infection with PKV-1 and rotavirus A was detected overall in 5.6% of healthy and in 13.5% of diarrheic pigs and was highest in suckling piglets (33.9%). The PKV-1sequences from pigs in Slovakia were analyzed at the genetic level in the partial 3D gene region for the first time. The viral sequences were grouped in phylogenetic clusters according to their farm of origin. When compared with 157 nucleotide sequences originating from pig samples of different countries around the world Slovakian PKV-1 sequences were clustered in the phylogenetic tree with Asian sequences but not with nucleotide sequences from the neighbouring countries of Czech Republic or Hungary.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the long-term mechanical stability and accuracy of the patient positioning system (PPS) of the Leksell Gamma Knife(®) Perfexion™ (LGK PFX). METHODS The mechanical stability of the PPS of the LGK PFX was evaluated using measurements obtained between September 2007 and June 2011. Three methods were employed to measure the deviation of the coincidence of the radiological focus point (RFP) and the PPS calibration center point (CCP). In the first method, the onsite diode test tool with single diode detector was used together with the 4 mm collimator on a daily basis. In the second method, a service diode test tool with three diode detectors was used biannually at the time of the routine preventive maintenance. The test performed with the service diode test tool measured the deviations for all three collimators 4, 8, and 16 mm and also for three different positions of the PPS. The third method employed the conventional film pin-prick method. This test was performed annually for the 4 mm collimator at the time of the routine annual QA. To estimate the effect of the patient weight on the performance of the PPS, the focus precision tests were also conducted with varying weights on the PPS using a set of lead bricks. RESULTS The average deviations measured from the 641 daily focus precision tests were 0.1 ± 0.1, 0.0 ± 0.0, and 0.0 ± 0.0 mm, respectively, for the 4 mm collimator in the X (left/right of the patient), Y (anterior/posterior of the patient), and Z (superior/inferior of the patient) directions. The average of the total radial deviations as measured during ten semiannual measurements with the service diode test tool were 0.070 ± 0.029, 0.060 ± 0.022, and 0.103 ± 0.028 mm, respectively for the central, long, and short diodes for the 4 mm collimator. Similarly, the average total radial deviations measured during the semiannual measurements for the 4, 8, and 16 mm collimators and using the central diode were 0.070 ± 0.029, 0.097 ± 0.025, 0.159 ± 0.028 mm, respectively. The average values of the deviations as obtained from the five annual film pin-prick tests for the 4 mm collimator were 0.10 ± 0.06, 0.06 ± 0.09, and 0.03 ± 0.03 mm for the X, Y, Z stereotactic directions, respectively. Only a minor change was observed in the total radial deviations of the PPS as a function of the simulated patient weight up to 202 kg on the PPS. CONCLUSIONS Excellent long-term mechanical stability and high accuracy was observed for the PPS of the LGK PFX. No PPS recalibration or any adjustment in the PPS was needed during the monitored period of time. Similarly, the weight on the PPS did not cause any significant disturbance in the performance of the PPS for up to 202 kg simulated patient weight.

Abstract
The most common malignancies of the female genital tract are endometrial carcinomas, whose are generally proceeded by hyperplasia. The maintenance of tissue homeostasis is to great extent governed by apoptosis, whose defects can lead to the preneoplastic and/or cancerous changes. Endometrial apoptosis involves among others three groups of proteins of the Bcl-2 family. First group contains anti-apoptotic proteins (e. g. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL). The other two groups belong to the pro-apoptotic proteins with three (e. g. Bax, Bak) or one (e. g. Bad, Bid) so-called BH domains. Bad and Bid trigger the oligomerization of Bak and Bax protein, which permeabilize the outer mitochondrial wall. Unlike Bid, Bad cannot directly trigger apoptosis. Instead, Bad lowers the threshold at which apoptosis is induced, by binding anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins. However, their mutual counterbalance or synergism in the human endometrium has not been reported yet.In this study, the levels of Bid and Bad were measured using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with specific antibodies, with the aim to analyse expression of Bid and Bad proteins in normal (NE), hyperplastic (HE) and cancerous (CE) endometrium. We demonstrated that Bid expression in CE reached only 47% and 50% of this observed in NE and HE. Conversely, Bad expression in HE reached only 40% and 36% of this observed in NE and CE, respectively. We detected no significant changes of Bid expression between HE and NE, and levels of Bad protein were not different between CE and NE.Trend of Bid and Bad protein expression is clearly opposite in HE and CE. We hypothesise that disrupted apoptotic program in CE seems to be reduced further by lowering levels of direct apoptotic trigger protein Bid. We suggest that the adenocarcinoma tissue of human endometrium thus tries to strengthen its apoptotic effort by lowering the apoptotic threshold via higher Bad levels.

Abstract
Gamma-Knife radiosurgery treatment for intracranial metastases of renal-cell cancer results are presented. Treatments were made in 3 Eastern European Centers: in Prague, Moscow and St. Petersburg from 2000 to 2011. 312 patients were treated. Median survival was 8 months (1-91 months). Follow up data were collected for 210 patients. Neurologic state worsening had place at 12% patients, but only 4% of deterioration cases are connected to GKRS. Causes of the rest cases are related to new metastases. Neurologic improvement was found at 29% of patients. Post-RS MRI data were available for 188 patients. Volume enlargement was observed at 10% of cases, but only 5% caused by continued growth. New metastases appeared at 53% of patients. Actuarial analysis didn't detect statistically significant differences in survival for such parameters as patient age, volume and number of metastases. Favorable prognostic factors (p < 0.05) were found to be Karnofsky state equal or more than 70, controlled primary tumor and absence of extracranial metastases, as well as marginal dose for largest metastasis more than 20 Gy. Now RS is one of the basic method of the discussed pathology treatment, that demonstrates high efficacy in relation to the tumor growth and the patient Quality of Life. It is noteworthy that the length of survival is determined by the depth of the complex treatment of primary disease and success of such treatment.

Abstract
265 Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women. 12% of BC occur in women age 20–34. BC is classified as “pregnancy associated” if it is diagnosed during pregnancy or within one year after the delivery (PABC). We propose two distinct subtypes of PABC: BC diagnosed during pregnancy and BC diagnosed post-partum. This distinction is important because epidemiologic data highlights worsened outcomes specific to post-partum cases. The safety of pregnancy after treatment of BC is an important issue for many young women. Current research does not indicate that pregnancy negatively affects survival. Methods: There are about 95 young women being diagnosed each year with BC in the Czech Republic. A project of clinical registry named “Project 35” was launched in 2005 with the aim to collect data on epidemiology of the disease in young women. The standardization of the multidisciplinary medical treatment, genetic counselling and psychosocial support should result in better clinical outcomes and improve the quality of life. Results: In our project (n=225) were referred 25 women with PABC, 9 patients with the diagnosis of breast cancer during the pregnancy, 16 patients within one year after the delivery. 2 patients underwent termination of the pregnancy (first trimester) before oncological treatment, in 2 patients anthracycline-based chemotherapy was administered (second trimester), and in 5 patients were induced preterm delivery (third trimester). After delivery we followed standard therapeutic guidelines. All patients are alive but three of them have metastatic disease. From 16 women treated for post-partum BC, 11 patients have complete remission, 2 are alive with metastatic disease, 1 is recovering after the surgery for local recurrence and 2 patients died due to progressive disease. 8 women are BRCA1/2 carriers. 8 women after the successful treatment of breast cancer have delivered of healthy children and are in a complete remission, despite 1 of them with local reccurence of breast cancer. Conclusions: PABC is rare situation, which needs to be managed individually. These patients should be treated under the supervision of the Oncological Centres. Project 35 is useful framework for the counselling in PABC.

Abstract
Lactobacillus reuteri utilizes exogenously added glycerol as a hydrogen acceptor during carbohydrate fermentations, resulting in higher growth rates and cell yields than those obtained during growth on carbohydrates alone. Glycerol is first converted to 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde by a coenzyme B(12)-dependent glycerol dehydratase and then reduced to 1,3-propanediol by an NAD -dependent oxidoreductase. The latter enzyme was purified and determined to have a molecular weight of 180,000; it is predicted to exist as a tetramer of identical 42,000-molecular-weight subunits.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Pancreatic cancer represents one of the biggest problems of current oncology. The risk factors of pancreatic cancer development, as well as factors affecting survival are poorly understood. Since biotransformation enzymes modify detoxification of carcinogens, we supposed, that arelationship between their polymorphism and the risk of pancreatic cancer development and eventually its clinical outcome may exist.<br />Associations of so far not studied cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) polymorphisms with pancreatic cancer risk were investigated by case-control study. Atotal of 754 participants were recruited during study period. All patients were followed to determine their treatment and overall survival.<br />Carriers of rare genotype Val/Val in codon 432 of CYP1B1 (rs1056836) were under significantly lower risk of pancreatic cancer than wild type carriers (p=0.035). Carriers of heterozygous genotype (p=0.033) and rare allele Val (p=0.015) were also under lower risk than wild type carriers. When histology-verified patients were analyzed separately, even more significant associations were found (p=0.016, p=0.009, p=0.003, respectively). On the contrary, CYP1B1 polymorphism in codon 453 (rs1800440) did not significantly associate with pancreatic cancer risk. Median survival of patients with rare homozygous genotype Val/Val in CYP1B1-codon 432 was longer but not significantly different from those with wild-type homozygotes. The same was true for CYP1B1-codon 453 wild-type homozygotes in comparison with Ser/Ser rare homozygotes.<br />CYP1B1 polymorphism in codon 432 seems to modify the risk of pancreatic cancer development and should be further studied. KEYWORDS Pancreatic cancer, CYP1B1, polymorphism, risk, survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for sperm function. However, excessive ROS production can impair sperm function and might be a factor contributing to male infertility. METHODS We investigated the levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as well as lipid peroxidation, as represented by thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS), in blood and seminal plasma of 38 normozoospermic males from infertile couples (NSI-males), compared with that of 17 fertile volunteers (FV-males). RESULTS TBARS levels in blood and seminal plasma were higher in NSI-males than in FV-males (P < 0.0002, P < 0.0003, respectively), as were AA levels (P < 0.0003, P < 0.00004, respectively). On the contrary, the blood and seminal plasma levels of DHA were lower in NSI-males than in FV-males (P < 0.02 and P < 0.05, respectively). The AA/DHA ratios in blood and seminal plasma were higher in NSI-males than in FV-males (P < 0.003, P < 0.0007, respectively). Significant correlations between seminal and blood plasma levels of TBARS (P < 0.0001, r = 0.548), AA (P < 0.0001, r = 0.571) and DHA (P < 0.0001, r = 0.506) were found. CONCLUSIONS Our data provide new insight into lipid metabolism in male infertility and indicate that systemic oxidative stress resulting in increased lipid peroxidation and an altered fatty acid profile may be, at least in part, responsible for infertility even in normozoospermic males.

Abstract
Alterations in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase gene (DPYD) coding for the key enzyme (DPD) of fluoropyrimidines (FPs) catabolism contribute to the development of serious FPs-related toxicity. We performed mutation analysis of DPYD based on cDNA sequencing in 76 predominantly colorectal cancer patients treated by FPs with early development of high (grade 3-4) hematological and/or gastrointestinal toxicity. Six previously described [85T>C (C29R), 496A>G (M166V), 775A>G (K259E), 1601G>A (S534N), 1627A>G (I543V), IVS14+1G>A, 2194G>A (V732I)] and two novel [187A>G (K63E) and 1050 G>A (R357H)] non-synonymous DPYD variants were found in 56/76 (73.7%) high-toxicity patients. Subsequently, these alterations were analyzed in 48 patients with excellent long-term tolerance of FPs and in 243 controls and were detected in 37/48 (77.1%) and 166/243 (68.3%) cases, respectively. Analysis of these alterations as risk factors for development of toxicity in pooled FPs-treated population demonstrated that C29R negatively correlated with overall gastrointestinal toxicity (OR = 0.48; 95%CI 0.23-1.0) and M166V in women protected against overall hematological toxicity and neutropenia (both OR = 0.26; 95%CI 0.07-0.89), whereas IVS14+1G>A (found in five high-toxicity patients only) increased risk of mucositis in overall population (OR = 7.0; 95%CI 1.1-44.53), and thrombocytopenia in women (OR = 10.8; 95%CI 1.24-93.98). Moreover, we identified a strong association of V732I with leucopenia (OR = 8.17; 95%CI 2.44 - 27.31) and neutropenia (OR=2.78; 95% CI 1.03-7.51). Our data enabled characterization of "high risk" haplotypes (carriers of IVS14+1G>A or V732 lacking M166V) representing small (22% female and 11% male patients), population in high risk of serious hematological toxicity development, and in patients with "lower risk" that unlikely develop serious hematological toxicity [carriers of M166V without IVS14+1G>A and V732I in females (32% women), and non-carriers of C29R, M166V, IVS14+1G>A, and V732I in males (46% men)]. Our results indicate that genotyping of several DPYD variants may lead to stratification of patients with respect to the risk of serious hematological toxicity development during FPs treatment.
