Abstract excerpt
In order to elucidate the role of VCORC1 sequence variants in warfarin sensitivity, we established a complete SNP map of the VKORC1 gene locus in 200 blood donors from Western Germany. Nearly all of the genetic variability of the VKORC1 gene in Europeans is reflected by three main haplotypes. Recently described polymorphisms associated with low warfarin dose requirement (dbSNP:rs9934438; dbSNP:rs17878363) were...
