Exome-wide association study of bleeding events in patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundDirect oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are first-line medications for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). However, variability in drug response poses risks of hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events.ObjectivesAlthough genetic influences on DOACs safety are increasingly recognized, robust evidence directly linking specific polymorphisms to bleeding risk remains limited.DesignMulti-center observational case-control study including exome-wide association analysis of 196 non-valvular AF patients treated with rivaroxaban or apixaban, comprising 97 with bleeding complications and 99 without.MethodsDOAC plasma concentrations, urinary 6-β-hydroxycortisol and cortisol levels were measured for CYP3A4 phenotyping. Sequencing was performed on the DNBSEQ G-400 platform. Singl
