Abstract

To assess allele frequency and genotype distribution of CYP2C9 polymorphisms in patients (n = 189) attending an anticoagulant clinic in comparison to control patients (n = 177) and also to assess if the patients with variant genotypes require lower doses of warfarin. Genotyping of the common CYP2C9 variants *2 and *3 was carried out by multiplexed PCR-RFLP while the *5 and *6 allele variants were genotyped by singleton PCR-RFLP. DNA sequencing was used to confirm genotype in all specimens with *3, *4 and *6 alleles. CYP2C9 allele frequencies in patients were 0.81 for *1, 0.11 for *2 and 0.08 for *3, compared to 0.88, 0.08 and 0.04, respectively, in controls. Patients with *1/*3 and *X/*X (where *X is *2 or *3) genotypes required 32 to 67% less warfarin in comparison to patients with the normal *1/*1 genotype. Other alleles were observed in less than 1% of subjects. Allele frequencies and genotypes for CYP2C9*2 and *3 variants in patients on warfarin are not statistically different from controls whether or not they are stratified for ethnicity. Less common genotypes (*4, *5, *6) do not contribute significantly to warfarin sensitivity among patients attending a routine anticoagulation clinic. CYP2C9 genotype predicts warfarin dos...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
