Genetic Variants
2C9 Variants:
*2, *3
Clinical Relevance
*2, *3 are the commonly identified 2C9 variants shown to decrease enzymatic activity.
VKORC1 Variants:
3673(-1639G>A)
Clinical Relevance
3673 = (-1639G>A) is the commonly identified VKORC1 variant and could be predictive of an individual's response to Warfarin.

Clicnical Relevance
  • Warfarin is the most widely prescribed oral anticoagulant that acts by inhibiting vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors.

  • Warfarin is used to treat various disorders, including venous thrombosis, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction and following heart valve replacement.

  • In the US, more than 3,000,000 new prescriptions are being written every year, and the total number of warfarin prescriptions has increased by 45 percent between 1999 and 2004.

  • There is greater than a ten-fold interpatient variability in the response to Warfarin.

Warfarin Adverse Effects
  • Warfarin exposes patients to increased risk of hemorrhage.

  • Annual incidence of associated major-bleeding complications has ranged from 1.0% to 5.0%.

  • Annual incidence of fatal hemorrhages has been reported as 0.5% to 1.1%. 1

  • Major bleeding occurred during the first 90 days of treatment in 50% of patients.1

  • Adverse effects of warfarin treatment account for 15 percent of all severe adverse effects.
