Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P-450 2C9 is the principle enzyme that terminates the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C9 producing variants with altered catalytic properties have been identified. Patients (n = 561) with a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.5 who had been treated with warfarin for more than 2 months were anonymously genotyped for the wild-type CYP2C9*1 allele and the 2C9*2...
