Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess allele frequency and potential predictive value of recurrent polymorphisms affecting warfarin metabolism in an unselected patient cohort attending an anticoagulant clinic (n=186). DESIGN AND METHODS: Genotyping of ten SNPs in five candidate genes (VKORC1, CYP2C9, CALU, EPHX and GGCX) was carried out by ABI PRISM SNaPshot multiplex method. RESULTS: We confirm the association between...
