Abstract excerpt
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Polymorphisms in the gene encoding CYP4F2 may partly explain the variability in warfarin maintenance dose by altering the metabolism of vitamin K. To determine the genetic factors that cause large inter-patient variability in warfarin efficacy, we investigated the relationship between serum warfarin concentration and CYP4F2 V433M (1347C>T, rs2108622) polymorphism in Japanese subjects....
