Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Warfarin dose response is partially explained by the polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 gene, affecting S -warfarin clearance, as well as by age and body weight. We examined the influence on warfarin dose requirements of candidate genes encoding microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), as well as glutathione S -transferase A1 (GSTA1) components of vitamin K epoxide reductase and the...
