Potentially functional SNPs (pfSNPs) as novel genomic predictors of 5-FU response in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and its pro-drug Capecitabine have been widely used in treating colorectal cancer. However, not all patients will respond to the drug, hence there is a need to develop reliable early predictive biomarkers for 5-FU response. Here, we report a novel potentially functional Single...
