DNA Genetic Tests: Warfarin Dose Prediction
|
Many studies have demonstrated the important role of genetic variability of vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1) and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) genes in determining the dose of warfarin that should be used when the oral anticoagulant is initiated. Individuals that use DNA tests to determine their genotypes of these two genes can use the test results with other information to reach quickly a stable therapeutic dose while reducing drug adverse reactions at the same time.
