Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 strongly affect steady-state warfarin dose. However, these variants also affect early international normalized ratio (INR) values during warfarin initiation. We examined whether CYP2C9/VKORC1 genotypes provide information about warfarin sensitivity additional to that provided by early INR responses. In 214 patients starting warfarin with INR-guided dose adjustments, we...
