Deoxyuridine accumulation occurs when there is an imbalance in nucleotide metabolism, often due to defects in enzymes like thymidylate synthase or dihydrofolate reductase. This accumulation can lead to DNA damage and genomic instability, as deoxyuridine is misincorporated into DNA in place of thymidine, potentially causing cell dysfunction and disease.
