<i>VKORC1</i> Polymorphisms, Haplotypes and Haplotype Groups on Warfarin Dose Among African–Americans and European–Americans
1 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the influence of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 polymorphisms on warfarin response has been studied, variability in dose explained by CYP2C9 and VKORC1 is lower among African-Americans compared with European-Americans. This has lead investigators to hypothesize that assessment of VKORC1 haplotypes may help capture a greater proportion of the variability in dose for this under-represented group. However,...
