BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There is very considerable inter-individual variability in warfarin dosages necessary to achieve target therapeutic anticoagulation. The variability is largely genetically determined but can only partly be explained by genetic variability in the cytochrome CYP2C9 locus. Polymorphisms within the genes coding for vitamin K-dependent proteins have been suggested to predict sensitivity to...
