TPMT is an enzyme that breaks down the drug 5-FU. A patient is an ultrapoor metabolizer of this drug because of low TPMT levels. This patient would be expected to have a: 1) high drug level and high toxicity 2) low drug yel and low toxicitiy 3) high drug level and low toxicity 4) low drug level and high toxicity
