Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Warfarin inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase, of which microsomal epoxide hydrolase is a putative member. Several studies have found signals of association with warfarin maintenance dose in the EPHX1 gene. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of EPHX1 variants on warfarin maintenance dose in a multiethnic Asian population. METHODS: We sequenced the exons of EPHX1 using...
