描述
Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Deficiency (DHPD; Thymine-uraciluria) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the DPYD gene which codes for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. A deficiency in this enzyme results in accumulation of 5-hydroxymethyluracil, thymine, and uracil in urine. Symptoms include nystagmus, large liver, hypotonia, growth and mental retardation, and seizures.
