Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Warfarin is characterized by a large inter-individual variability in dosage requirement. This study aimed to analyze the contribution of the CYP4F2 genetic polymorphism and plasma vitamin K concentration on the warfarin pharmacodynamics in patients and to clarify the plasma vitamin K concentration affecting warfarin sensitivity index in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genetic analyses of selected genes...
