  • Genetic Variants Predicting Warfarin Sensitivity
    Publication number: 20110236885
    Abstract: We discovered that a polymorphism in the promoter of the VKORC1 gene is associated with warfarin sensitivity. This polymorphism can explain both the inter-individual and inter-ethnic differences in warfarin dose requirements. Furthermore, the polymorphism is also associated with promoter activity. Thus, the promoter sequence or activity of the VKORC1 gene of a subject can be used to predict how much warfarin should be prescribed for the subject. Relevant methods and compositions are provided.
    Type: Application
