Warfarin targets human vitamin K epoxide reductase (hVKOR), a redox enzyme in the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), to prevent the formation of blood clots. Although warfarin has been a popular medication since 1954, its mechanism of action is still unclear. A fundamental issue is the controve...

Genome-wide association study of Warfarin dosing in 714 British, recruited in Liverpool and Birmingham. Three phenotypes were investigated: warfarin mean dose, warfarin mean stable dose, and INR over 4 during first week of treatment. Stability was defined by at least three INR measurements within ta...

Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant and one of the most used drugs in the world accounting for up to 1.5% of prescriptions globally. Warfarin inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), an enzyme responsible for the vitamin K recycling that is required for the activation of clotting fa...

Pharmacogenetic Optimization of Anticoagulant Response (POAT) and Genetic and Environmental Determinants of Warfarin Response (GEDWR)

Although the efficacy of warfarin in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disorders is proven, it is vastly underutilized with difficulties in management and risk of complications being the main deterrents. Recognition of genetic regulation of warfarin response has fueled efforts to qua...
