Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cytochrome P4502C9 (CYP2C9) is the main enzyme implicated in coumarinic metabolism. Variant alleles, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, have been related to decreased enzymatic activity, but their clinical relevance in acenocoumarol metabolism has not been established. We investigated CYP2C9 polymorphisms in relation to acenocoumarol dose requirement, stability of anticoagulation and bleeding....
