WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT: Variants in the CYP2C9 (i.e. *2 and *3) and VKORC1 (i.e. 1173C/T or -1639G/A) genes have been shown to influence warfarin dose requirements. However, these factors seem to explain less of the dose variability in African Americans who have a lower prevalence of the CYP2C9*2 and *3 and VKORC1 1173T alleles. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: In African Americans, the VKORC1 rs17886199...
