Abstract excerpt
Phenprocoumon is an anticoagulant used for thromboembolic disorder prophylaxis metabolized mainly by CYP3A4. However, polymorphisms in this gene did not explain the observed variability. PPARA (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α) is a nuclear receptor that, among others, influences CYP3A4 gene expression. The aim of this study was to determine whether PPARA gene polymorphisms and the CYP3A4*22 allele...
