Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have linked mutations in the genes encoding cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1) to a reduced warfarin dose requirement and an increased risk of bleeding with warfarin treatment, but the implementation of genotyping as routine practice is still controversial. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the frequencies of CYP2C9...
