چکیده

BACKGROUND avoidance of over anticoagulation in response to warfarin therapy would reduce risk of associated bleeding. SUBJECTS two elderly patients with venous thromboembolism exhibited extreme anticoagulant response to warfarin. Both were noted to have variant CYP2C9 alleles, which reduce the metabolic capacity of cytochrome P450 2C9. DISCUSSION adverse outcomes with warfarin therapy could be explained and possibly avoided by identifying patients with variant alleles for CYP2C9 before initiation of therapy.

Comparison of two different techniques of warfarin dosing determination - A chemometrics study

A high prevalence of genetic polymorphisms increases sensitivity to warfarin therapy. In this study, we investigated 47 patients with effective long-term therapy by warfarin well-controlled by monitoring of International Normalised Ratio (INR). All patients were tested for gene polymorphisms VKORC1, CYP2C9*C2, and CYP2C9*C3, which were used for a dose calculation employing a program www.Warfari...

The Contribution of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 Genetic Polymorphisms and Patients’ Demographic Characteristics with Warfarin Maintenance Doses: A Suggested Warfarin Dosing Algorithm

The requirement of varying doses of warfarin for different individuals can be explained by environmental and genetic factors. We evaluated the frequency of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) variants together with patientdemographic characteristics and investigated their association with warfarin dose requirement with the ob...
