Abstract
Background Genetic polymorphisms have a potential clinical role in determining both inter-individual and inter-ethnic differences in drug efficacy, but we have not found any pharmacogenomics information regarding minorities, such as the Miao ethnic group. Our study aimed to screen numbers of the Miao ethnic group for genotype frequencies of VIP variants and to determine differences between the Miao and other human populations worldwide. Material/Methods In this study, we genotyped 66 Very Important Pharmacogene (VIP) variants selected from PharmGKB in 98 unrelated, healthy Miao individuals from the Guizhou province and compared our data with 12 other populations, including 11 populations from the HapMap data set and Xi’an Han Chinese. Results Using the χ2 test, we found that the allele frequencies of the VDR rs1544410 and VKORC1 (rs9934438) variants in the Miao population are quite different from that in other ethnic groups. Furthermore, we found that genotype frequencies of rs1801133 (MTHFR) in the 13 selected populations are significantly different. Population structure and F-statistics (Fst) analysis show that the genetic background of the Miao is relatively close to that of Chinese in metropolitan Denver, CO, USA (CHD). Conclusions Our results help complete the information provided by the pharmacogenomics database of the Miao ethnic group and provide a theoretical basis for safer drug administration, which may be useful for diagnosing and treating diseases in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Warfarin is a widely prescribed anticoagulant, and its effect depends on various patient factors including genotypes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing genotype-guided dosing (GD) of warfarin with standard dosing have shown mixed efficacy and safety outcomes. We performed a meta-analysis of all published RCTs comparing GD vs standard dosing in adult patients with various indications of warfarin use. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and relevant references for English language RCTs (inception through March 2014). We performed the meta-analysis using a random effects model. RESULTS Ten RCTs with a total of 2,505 patients were included in the meta-analysis. GD compared with standard dosing resulted in a similar % time in therapeutic range (TTR) at ≤ 1 month follow-up (39.7% vs 40.2%; mean difference [MD], -0.52 [95% CI, -3.15 to 2.10]; P = .70) and higher % TTR (59.4% vs 53%; MD, 6.35 [95% CI, 1.76-10.95]; P = .007) at > 1 month follow-up, a trend toward lower risk of major bleeding (risk ratio, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.19-0.1.11]; P = .08) at ≤ 1 month follow-up and lower risks of major bleeding (0.34 [95% CI, 0.16-0.74], P = .006) at > 1-month follow-up, and shorter time to maintenance dose (TMD) (24.6 days vs 34.1 days; MD, -9.54 days [95% CI, -18.10 to -0.98]; P = .03) at follow-up but had no effects on international normalized ratio [INR] > 4.0, nonmajor bleeding, thrombotic outcomes, or overall mortality. CONCLUSIONS In the first month of genotype-guided warfarin therapy, compared with standard dosing, there were no improvements in % TTR, INR > 4.0, major or minor bleeding, thromboembolism, or all-cause mortality. There was a shorter TMD, and, after 1 month, improved % TTR and major bleeding incidence, making this a cost-effective strategy in patients requiring longer anticoagulation therapy.

Abstract
Background VKORC1 is reported to be capable of treating several diseases with thrombotic risk, such as cardiac valve replacement. Some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VKORC1 are documented to be associated with clinical differences in warfarin maintenance dose. This study explored the correlations of VKORC1–1639 G/A, 1173 C/T and 497 T/G genetic polymorphisms with warfarin maintenance dose requirement in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement. Material/Methods A total of 298 patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement were recruited. During follow-up, clinical data were recorded. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was applied to detect VKORC1–1639 G/A, 1173 C/T and 497 T/G polymorphisms, and genotypes were analyzed. Results Correlations between warfarin maintenance dose and baseline characteristics revealed statistical significances of age, gender and operation methods with warfarin maintenance dose (all P<0.05). Warfarin maintenance dose in VKORC1–1639 G/A AG + GG carriers was obviously higher than in AA carriers (P<0.001). As compared with patients with TT genotype in VKORC1 1173 C/T, warfarin maintenance dose was apparently higher in patients with CT genotype (P<0.001). Linear regression analysis revealed that gender, operation method, method for heart valve replacement, as well as VKORC1–1639 G/A and 1173 C/T gene polymorphisms were significantly related to warfarin maintenance dose (all P<0.05). Conclusions VKORC1 gene polymorphisms are key genetic factors to affect individual differences in warfarin maintenance dose in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement; meanwhile, gender, operation method and method for heart valve replacement might also be correlate with warfarin maintenance dose.

Abstract
Background: Warfarin is an anticoagulant and is widely used for the prevention of thromboembolic events. Genetic variants of the enzymes that metabolize warfarin, i.e. cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), contribute to differences in patients’ responses to various warfarin doses. There is, however, a dearth of data on the role of these variants during initial anticoagulation in pediatric patients. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the role of genetic variants of warfarin metabolizing enzymes in anticoagulation in a pediatric population. Patients and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 200 pediatric patients, who required warfarin therapy after cardiac surgery, were enrolled and divided into two groups. For 50 cases, warfarin was prescribed based on their genotyping (group 1) and for the remaining 150 cases, warfarin was prescribed based on our institute routine warfarin dosing (group 2). The study endpoints were comprised of time to reach the first therapeutic international normalization ratio (INR), time to reach a stable warfarin maintenance dose, time with over-anticoagulation, bleeding episodes, hospital stay days and stable warfarin maintenance dose. Results: There was no significant difference concerning the demographic data between the two groups. The time to stable warfarin maintenance dose and hospital stay days were significantly lower in group 1 (P <0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in time to reach the first therapeutic INR, time with over-anticoagulation and bleeding episodes, between the two groups. Conclusions: The determination of warfarin dose, based on genotyping, might reduce the time to achieve stable anticoagulation of warfarin dose and length of hospital stay.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate an association between c-Myc SNPs and stable warfarin doses. MATERIALS & METHODS The influences of genetic polymorphisms on dose requirements were investigated by genotyping ten SNPs in 201 patients with stable warfarin doses; VKORC1 (rs9923231), CYP2C9 (rs1057910), CYP4F2 (rs2108622), GATA4 (rs10090884), c-Myc (rs4645962, rs4645943, rs4645948 and rs4645974) and 8q24 (rs1447295 and rs16901979). RESULTS Around 44.3% of the overall interindividual variability in warfarin dose requirements was explained by the multivariate regression model; VKORC1 genotype accounted for 26.4%, CYP2C9 genotype for 4.9%, age for 3.4%, c-Myc genotypes for 5.2% (rs4645974 for 2.4% and rs4645943 for 2.8%), CYP4F2 genotype for 2.9% and diuretic use for 1.5%. CONCLUSION Our results revealed that c-Myc could be a determinant of stable warfarin doses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated two VKORC1 gene polymorphisms, -1639G/A and 1173C/T, for effects on warfarin maintenance dosage in valvular heart disease (VHD) patients after cardiac valve replacement (CVR). METHODS A total of 219 VHD patients receiving warfarin therapy after CVR surgery were recruited to this study between June 2010 and December 2013. Basic clinical data, prothrombin time, warfarin maintenance dose, and blood samples were collected from all patients. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analyses were used to analyze the VKORC1 -1639G/A and 1173C/T polymorphisms. SPSS version 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS Patients with either the AG+or GG genotype (n=32) of the VKORC1 -1639G/A polymorphism required a significantly higher warfarin dose compared to patients with the AA genotype (n=187) (4.36±1.03 mg/day vs. 2.95±0.94 mg/day; p<0.001). Similarly, patients carrying the CT genotype (n=28) of the VKORC1 1173C/T polymorphism also required a significantly higher warfarin dose compared to those with the TT genotype (n=191) (4.19±0.99 mg/day vs. 3.00±0.94 mg/day; p<0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that gender, age, weight, and VKORC1 -1639G/A and 1173C/T polymorphisms were correlated with individual differences in warfarin maintenance dose (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION We present evidence that the two VKORC1 polymorphisms, -1639G/A and 1173C/T, are key genetic factors influencing individual differences in warfarin maintenance dose in VHD patients who underwent CVR. Gender, age, and weight also independently correlated with warfarin maintenance dose.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and is a growing health problem that is associated with a significantly increased risk of stroke and thromboembolism. Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy reduces the risk of stroke and all-cause mortality in patients with AF. OAC therapy is commonly given as a well-controlled vitamin K antagonist (VKA; e.g. warfarin) and can reduce the risk of stroke in AF patients by almost two-thirds. However, the widespread use of VKAs has been hampered by the unpredictable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drugs and justifiable concerns about the consequent risk of haemorrhage. The non-VKA OACs (NOACs) have revolutionized thromboprophylaxis in AF by providing therapeutic options with predictable pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties that are as efficacious as warfarin in the prevention of stroke and thromboembolism but are more convenient to use. In this review, we provide a patient-centred framework to assist clinicians in recommending the right OAC therapy to fit the individual patient with AF, including methods for stratifying the risk of stroke and haemorrhage and the chances of achieving tight control of VKA anticoagulation, and we discuss the properties of the NOACs that favour their use in particular patient cohorts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug response variability observed amongst patients is caused by the interaction of both genetic and non-genetic factors, and frequencies of functional genetic variants are known to vary amongst populations. Pharmacogenomic research has the potential to help with individualized treatments. We have not found any pharmacogenomics information regarding Uygur ethnic group in northwest China. In the present study, we genotyped 85 very important pharmacogenetic (VIP) variants (selected from the PharmGKB database) in the Uygur population and compared our data with other eleven populations from the HapMap data set. RESULTS Through statistical analysis, we found that CYP3A5 rs776746, VKORC1 rs9934438, and VKORC1 rs7294 were most different in Uygur compared with most of the eleven populations from the HapMap data set. Compared with East Asia populations, allele A of rs776746 is less frequent and allele A of rs7294 is more frequent in the Uygur population. The analysis of F-statistics (Fst) and population structure shows that the genetic background of Uygur is relatively close to that of MEX. CONCLUSIONS Our results show significant differences amongst Chinese populations that will help clinicians triage patients for better individualized treatments.

[PMID: 26113018 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2015.06.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2015] [Revised: 06/11/2015] [Accepted: 06/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
MicroRNAs are small single stranded molecules that play a crucial role in regulation of physiological and pathological processes. Recent studies showed that VKORC1 gene contains an highly evolutionary conserved binding site for mir-133. Moreover, in human hepatocytes mir-133 is constitutively co-expressed with VKORC1. Since VKORC1 protein is the target of warfarin treatment, the aim of this study was to verify if genetic variations in MIR133A1, MIR133A2 and MIR133B could contribute to warfarin dose variability. By direct sequencing, we identified 4 SNPs in MIR133A2 gene and 1 SNP in MIR133B gene. Three SNPs in MIR133A2 were in complete linkage disequilibrium and correlated with warfarin dose: indeed, for each SNP, patients carrying the GA or AA genotype required a MWWD significantly higher than the wildtype genotype (P=0.019). We also inferred the haplotypes in MIR133A2 gene. The GC haplotype required a MWWD significantly lower than AT haplotype (P=0.012). The multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that rs45547937 (as tag SNP) in MIR133A2 could be involved in warfarin dosing variability, (P=0.016). These results seem to suggest that also polymorphisms in miRNA precursors may potentially affects drug response variability.

Abstract
Aim & Methods: A total of 169 Bulgarian patients were genotyped for CYP2C9*2,*3, VKORC1-1639G>A and VKORC11173C>T. The effect of genetic and nongenetic factors on acenocoumarol dose variability was tested in a derivation cohort of patients and the obtained algorithm was validated in a test cohort. RESULTS & DISCUSSION It was found that VKORC-1639G>A (25.5%), CYP2C9*2 (7.8%), CYP2C9*3 (6.1%), age (13.6%) and diagnosis (6.0%) significantly affected acenocoumarol dose variability in the derivation cohort. These factors with additional factors, such as sex (0.1%, p = 0.76), weight (2.6%, p = 0.14) and amiodarone use (3.0%, p = 0.059) accounted for 46.5% and 23.0% of the dose variability for genetic and clinical models, respectively. CONCLUSION Based on the results of this investigation, validated clinical and pharmacogenetic algorithms for the prediction of a stable anticoagulant dose were developed, specifically designed for the Bulgarian population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Warfarin, a racemic mixture of S- and R-enantiomers, is the cornerstone of therapy in patients following cardiac valve replacement. S-warfarin is metabolized to 7-S-hydroxywarfarin by the cytochrome P450 isoform 2C9 encoded by CYP2C9 gene. R-warfarin is metabolized by multiple cytochromes P450. We sought to assess the impact of clinical and genetic factors on circulating warfarin metabolites following valve implantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Venous blood was collected from 120 patients after 3 months since elective mitral and/or aortic valve replacement. Plasma S-warfarin, R-warfarin, S-7-hydroxywarfarin, and R-7-hydroxywarfarin were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The S-7-hydroxywarfarin/S-warfarin and S-warfarin/R-warfarin (S/R) ratios, along with warfarin sensitivity index (WSI), defined as INR/S-warfarin ratio, were calculated. Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) c.-1639A, CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*2 alleles were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS The S-warfarin was higher in former smokers (p = 0.047) and the VKORC1 c.-1639A allele carriers (p < 0.0001). The S-7-hydroxywarfarin was lower in carriers of the VKORC1 c.-1639A allele (p = 0.0005) and CYP2C9*3 (p = 0.047). The S-7-hydroxywarfarin/S-warfarin ratio was lower in the carriers of CYP2C9*3 (p = 0.008), but not in those with VKORC1 -c.1639A allele. The S/R ratio was higher in patients with hypertension (p = 0.01). The independent predictors of elevated S/R ratio defined as the upper quartile were diabetes (p = 0.045), CYP2C9*3 (p < 0.0001) and CYP2C9*2 (p = 0.0002). The independent predictors of elevated WSI were current smoking (p = 0.049), implantation of mechanical valve (p = 0.006) and VKORC1c.-1639A allele (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION We conclude that not only genetic, but also several clinical factors affect warfarin metabolites in patients following cardiac valve implantation.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the research was to study the influence of several genetic factors, especially the -1693 G>A polymorphism of the VKORC1 gene, on the risk of acute unprovoked lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 127 patients (median age 63 [53.2; 72] years; 61 [48%] women and 66 [52%] men) who were diagnosed with acute lower extremity DVT and 114 controls (median age 62 [53; 73] years; 64 [56.1%] women and 50 [43.9%] men) without DVT. We recorded data regarding the history of DVT and the presence of varicose veins. We determined the genotypes for factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation, prothrombin G20210A mutation, VKORC1 -1639 G>A mutation, and PAI-1 -675 4G/5G polymorphism. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Varicose veins were found in 67 (52.8%) patients and 29 (25.4%) controls (P < .001). FVL was present in 29 (22.8%) patients and 10 (8.8%) controls (P = .005). The VKORC1 (-1693 G>A) GG genotype was found in 42 (33.1%) patients and 41 (36%) controls, the GA genotype in 71 (55.9%) patients and 47 (41.2%) controls, and AA genotype in 14 (11%) patients and 26 (22.8%) controls (P = .020). Multivariate analysis showed that the presence of varicose veins, FVL, and VKORC1 -1639 G>A was independently associated with the risk of DVT. The VKORC1 (-1693 G>A) AA genotype was associated with fewer cases of DVT (odds ratio = 0.435; 95% confidence interval 0.205-0.991; P = .031).

Abstract
Background Given the prevalence of non-valvular atrial fibrillation in the geriatric population, thromboembolic prevention by means of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) is one of the most frequent daily concerns of practitioners. The effectiveness and safety of treatment with VKA correlates directly with maximizing the time in therapeutic range, with an International Normalized Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0. The older population concentrates many of factors known to influence INR rate, particularly concomitant medications and concurrent medical conditions, also defined as comorbidities. Objective Determine whether a high burden on comorbidities, defined by a Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) of 3 or greater, is associated a lower quality of INR control. Study-Design Cross-sectional study. Settings French geriatric care units nationwide. Participants 2164 patients aged 80 and over and treated with vitamin K antagonists. Measurements Comorbidities were assessed using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The recorded data included age, sex, falls, kidney failure, hemorrhagic event, VKA treatment duration, and the number and type of concomitant medications. Quality of INR control, defined as time in therapeutic range (TTR), was assessed using the Rosendaal method. Results 487 patients were identified the low-quality control of INR group. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, low-quality control of INR was independently associated with a CCI ≥3 (OR = 1.487; 95% CI [1.15; 1.91]). The other variables associated with low-quality control of INR were: hemorrhagic event (OR = 3.151; 95% CI [1.64; 6.07]), hospitalization (OR = 1.614, 95% CI [1.21; 2.14]). Conclusion An elevated CCI score (≥3) was associated with low-quality control of INR in elderly patients treated with VKA. Further research is needed to corroborate this finding.

Abstract
Significant inter-individual variability on the effect of vitamin K to reverse overanticoagulation has been identified. Genetic polymorphisms of the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) gene might explain in part this variability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of VKORC1 -1639G>A and 3730G>A polymorphisms on the effect of oral vitamin K supplementation in overanticoagulated patients. We performed an interventional trial of oral vitamin K supplementation in over-anticoagulated outpatients (international normalized ratio [INR] ≥ 4). Subjects received vitamin K (2.5-5.0 mg) according to baseline INR and were genotyped by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). INR values were determined at 3, 6, 24 and 72 h after supplementation. We evaluated 33 outpatients, 61 % were males, with a mean age of 62 ± 12 years old. There was a significant decrease in INR values over time for both polymorphisms after oral vitamin K. At 3 h after supplementation, patients carrying the G allele for the -1639G>A polymorphism had a greater decrease in INR values compared to AA patients (p < 0.05 for difference among groups; p < 0.001 for time variation; p = 0.001 for time × group interaction), with differences of -1.01 for GG versus AA (p = 0.003) and -0.84 for GA versus AA (p = 0.024). Mean INR value at 24 h was 1.9 ± 0.6 and at 72 h was 2.1 ± 0.7, with no differences among genotypes. No significant interaction was identified between the 3730G>A polymorphism and vitamin K supplementation. Our study indicated that the VKORC1 -1639G>A polymorphism plays a role in the response to acute vitamin K supplementation in over-anticoagulated patients, with faster decrease of INR value in patients carrying the G allele.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As the most frequently prescribed anticoagulant, warfarin has large inter-individual variability in dosage. Genetic polymorphisms could largely explain the differences in dosage requirement. rs9923231 (VKORC1), rs7294 (VKORC1), rs1057910 (CYP2C9), rs2108622 (CYP4F2), and rs699664 (GGCX) involved in the warfarin action mechanism and the circulatory vitamin K were selected to investigate their polymorphism characteristics and their effects on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of warfarin in Chinese population. METHODS 220 patients with cardiac valve replacement were recruited. International normalized ratio and plasma warfarin concentrations were determined. The five genetic polymorphisms were genotyping by pyro-sequencing. The relationships of maintenance dose, plasma warfarin concentration and INR were assessed among groups categorized by genotypes. RESULTS rs9923231 and rs7294 in VKORC1 had the analogous genotype frequencies (D': 0.969). 158 of 220 recruited individuals had the target INR (1.5-2.5). Patients with AA of rs9923231 and CC of rs7294 required a significantly lower maintenance dose and plasma concentration than those with AG and TC, respectively. The mean weekly maintenance dose was also significantly lower in CYP2C9 rs1057910 mutated heterozygote than in patients with the wild homozygote. Eliminating the influence from environment factors (age, body weight and gender), rs9923231 and rs1057910 could explain about 32.0% of the variability in warfarin maintenance dose; rs7294 could explain 26.7% of the variability in plasma concentration. For patients with allele G of rs9923231 and allele T of rs7294, higher plasma concentration was needed to achieve the similar goal INR. CONCLUSIONS A better understanding of the genetic variants in individuals can be the foundation of warfarin dosing algorithm and facilitate the reasonable and effective use of warfarin in Chinese.

Abstract
While genomics is sometimes presented as an area of research where results can be rapidly translated into clinical practice, the facts are more ambiguous. To illustrate some of the pitfalls of translation, this article focuses on the applications of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) results. Following a brief scientific contextualization of GWAS, two emblematic examples are presented as illustrations. The case of Crohn's disease emphasizes the limits of GWAS results for individual risk prediction. The case of warfarin highlights the difficulties of demonstrating the clinical utility of genetic data in treatment decisions. The article outlines the simplification of disease causation that underlies the GWAS methodology. Whereas this reductionist approach is fruitful for exploratory research purposes, it shows its limits when applied to clinical conditions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the antithrombin (gene, SERPINC1, and perioperative sensitivity to heparin in patients receiving heart surgery. The SERPINC1 genotype and allele frequency, coagulation parameters 24 hours before and after surgery, and clinical findings were compared among 3 ethnic groups, Han, Uighur, and Kazakh, patientswho received heart surgery. In Han patients, longer coagulation time as well as higher heparin and protamine dosage was observed. SERPINC1 gene sequencing identified 2 mutations in exon 5, g.981A>G (rs5877) and g.1011A>G (rs5878). The minor allele frequency of allele (A>G) for rs5877 and rs5878 was higher in the Han patients and was significantly different among the ethnic groups ( P = .004 and P = .006, respectively). The increased SERPINC1 SNP frequency among Han patients receiving heart surgery might contribute to the differences in their perioperative sensitivity to heparin.

Abstract
The anticoagulant warfarin has >30 million prescriptions per year in the United States. Doses can vary 20-fold between patients, and incorrect dosing can result in serious adverse events. Variation in warfarin pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic genes, such as CYP2C9 and VKORC1, do not fully explain the dose variability in African Americans. To identify additional genetic contributors to warfarin dose, we exome sequenced 103 African Americans on stable doses of warfarin at extremes (≤ 35 and ≥ 49 mg/week). We found an association between lower warfarin dose and a population-specific regulatory variant, rs7856096 (P = 1.82 × 10(-8), minor allele frequency = 20.4%), in the folate homeostasis gene folylpolyglutamate synthase (FPGS). We replicated this association in an independent cohort of 372 African American subjects whose stable warfarin doses represented the full dosing spectrum (P = .046). In a combined cohort, adding rs7856096 to the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Consortium pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm resulted in a 5.8 mg/week (P = 3.93 × 10(-5)) decrease in warfarin dose for each allele carried. The variant overlaps functional elements and was associated (P = .01) with FPGS gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from combined HapMap African populations (N = 326). Our results provide the first evidence linking genetic variation in folate homeostasis to warfarin response.

Abstract
Warfarin is widely prescribed for patients with the risk of thromboembolism around the world. The inter-individual and inter-racial differences in appropriate dosage depend highly on age, body weight, and genetic factors. A lot of studies including genome-wide association studies revealed that vitamin K epoxide reductase complex, subunit 1 (VKORC1) G-1639A and Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 A1075C are the most strong genetic factors for determining warfarin effects in Asians and Africans. Since we developed a quick and inexpensive genotyping method, polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers (PCR-CTPP), the method was applied for these genotypes to examine the possibility to clinical use. Subjects were 436 examinees (117 males and 319 females, aged 32 to 85 years) who attended a health checkup program in Japan. The PCR-CTPP for VKORC1 G-1639A and CYP2C9 A1075C was conducted for the subjects, as well as the samples genotyped by DigiTag2 method. The allele frequencies of VKORC1 G-1639A were 0.085 for G and 0.915 for A, and those of CYP2C9 A1075C were 0.979 for A and 0.021 for C, being in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p = 0.658 and p = 0.514, respectively). These frequencies were similar to those reported in the HapMap project. Genotyping for both SNPs by PCR-CTPP was replicated by DigiTag2 method. Our results indicated that the PCR-CTPP could be one of the alternative methods for genotyping VKORC1 G-1639A and CYP2C9 A1075C for Asians and Africans with similar allele frequencies to Japanese.

Abstract
Inconsistent associations with warfarin dose were observed in genetic variants except VKORC1 haplotype and CYP2C9*3 in Chinese people, and few studies on warfarin dose algorithm was performed in a large Chinese Han population lived in Northern China. Of 787 consenting patients with heart-valve replacements who were receiving long-term warfarin maintenance therapy, 20 related Single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped. Only VKORC1 and CYP2C9 SNPs were observed to be significantly associated with warfarin dose. In the derivation cohort (n = 551), warfarin dose variability was influenced, in decreasing order, by VKORC1 rs7294 (27.3%), CYP2C9*3(7.0%), body surface area(4.2%), age(2.7%), target INR(1.4%), CYP4F2 rs2108622 (0.7%), amiodarone use(0.6%), diabetes mellitus(0.6%), and digoxin use(0.5%), which account for 45.1% of the warfarin dose variability. In the validation cohort (n = 236), the actual maintenance dose was significantly correlated with predicted dose (r = 0.609, P<0.001). Our algorithm could improve the personalized management of warfarin use in Northern Chinese patients.

Abstract
Africa is home to genetically diverse human populations. We compared the genetic structure of the Wolaita ethnic population from southern Ethiopia (WETH, n=120) with HapMap populations using genome-wide variants. We investigated allele frequencies of 443 clinically and pharmacogenomically relevant genetic variants in WETH compared to HapMap populations. We found that WETH were genetically most similar to the Kenya Maasai and least similar to the Japanese in HapMap. Variant alleles associated with increased risk of adverse reactions to drugs used for treating tuberculosis (rs1799929 and rs1495741 in NAT2), thromboembolism (rs7294, rs9923231 and rs9934438 in VKORC1), and HIV/AIDS and solid tumors (rs2242046 in SLC28A1) had significantly higher frequencies in WETH compared to African ancestry HapMap populations. Our results illustrate that clinically relevant pharmacogenomic loci display allele frequency differences among African populations. We conclude that drug dosage guidelines for important global health diseases should be validated in genetically diverse African populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the literature regarding the interaction among amiodarone therapy, thyroid hormone levels, and warfarin metabolism. METHODS A 73-year-old male with type 2 after describing an unusual case of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) who experienced a severe rise in international normalized ratio (INR) values after initiating warfarin therapy due to an unusual combination of excessive thyroid hormones, amiodarone therapy, and a genetic abnormality affecting warfarin metabolism. RESULTS Genetic analysis revealed that the patient was CYP2C9*2 wild-type, CYP2C9*3/*3 homozygous mutant, and VKORC1*3/*3 homozygous mutant. A review of the literature revealed that both mutations can independently affect warfarin metabolism. In addition, amiodarone therapy and the presence of thyrotoxicosis per se can affect warfarin metabolism and reduce the dose needed to maintain INR in the therapeutic range. The association of the 2 genetic polymorphisms in a patient with AIT is extremely rare and strongly impairs warfarin metabolism, exposing the patient to a high risk of overtreatment. CONCLUSIONS In patients with AIT, warfarin therapy should be gradually introduced, starting with a very low dose, because of the significant risk of warfarin overtreatment. Whether the genetic analysis of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms should be routinely performed in AIT patients remains conjectural.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION VKORC1 and cytochrome CYP2C9 genetic variants contribute largely to inter-individual variations in vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) dose requirements. Cytochrome P450 4F2 isoform (CYP4F2), gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms have been suggested to be of minor significance. MATERIALS AND METHODS We sought to assess the impact of those polymorphisms on dose requirements in Central-Eastern European cohort of 479 patients receiving acenocoumarol (n=260) or warfarin (n=219). RESULTS There were no differences between the acenocoumarol and warfarin groups with regard to the gender, age, body mass index and international normalized ratio. The VKORC1 c.-1639A allele carriers required a lower dose of acenocoumarol and warfarin than the non-carriers (28.0 [21.0-35.0] vs. 42.0 [28.0-56.0] mg/week, p<0.0001; 35.0 [28.0-52.0] vs. 52.0 [35.0-70.0] mg/week, p=0.0001, respectively). Carriers of 2 and/or 3 variant alleles for CYP2C9 also required a lower dose of warfarin as compared with 1 1 carriers (35.0 [31.5-52.5] vs. 43.8 [35.0-60.2] mg/week, p=0.02; 35.0 [23.5-35.0] vs. 43.8 [35.0-60.2] mg/week, p<0.0001, respectively). Similarly, possession of G allele of GGCX c.2084+45 polymorphism was associated with lower warfarin dose (35.0 [26.3-39.2] vs. 45.5 [35.0-65.1] mg/week, p=0.03). No effect of CYP2C9*2,-*3 and GGCX c.2084+45G>C polymorphisms on acenocoumarol dosage was observed. Interestingly, carriers of CYP4F2 c.1297A variant required a higher dose of acenocoumarol and warfarin than non-carriers (43.8 [35.0-60.2] vs. 35.0 [35.0-52.5] mg/week, p=0.01; 35.0 [28.0-52.5] vs. 28.0 [28.0-42.0] mg/week, p=0.05). CONCLUSIONS We have shown for the first time, that besides VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genetic variants, the CYP4F2 c.1297A and GGCX c.2084+45G have a moderate effect on VKAs dose requirements in Slavic population from Central-Eastern Europe.

Abstract
Concomitant administration of multiple drugs can lead to unanticipated drug interactions and resultant adverse drug events with their associated costs. A more thorough understanding of the different cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters has led to new methods to try to predict and prevent clinically relevant drug interactions. There is also an increased recognition of the need to identify the impact of pharmacogenetic polymorphisms on drug interactions. More stringent regulatory requirements have evolved for industry to classify cytochrome inhibitors and inducers, test the effect of drug interactions in the presence of polymorphic enzymes, and evaluate multiple potentially interacting drugs simultaneously. In clinical practice, drug alert software programs have been developed. This review discusses drug interaction mechanisms and strategies for screening and minimizing exposure to drug interactions. We also provide future perspectives for reducing the risk of clinically significant drug interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Recently, many cases of vitamin K-dependent coagulopathy of unknown origin have been reported. Such patients lack any relevant family history and have no systemic disease, raising suspicion of superwarfarin intoxication. We evaluated individual risk factors causing coagulopathy and hemorrhagic symptoms in patients with suspected superwarfarin intoxication. In addition, we determined how to effectively treat vitamin K-dependent coagulopathy caused by suspected superwarfarin intoxication. METHODS Seven patients with suspected superwarfarin intoxication who lacked any definitive history of rodenticide ingestion were included. Thirty-one patients initially diagnosed with rodenticide poisoning were also included. We performed a retrospective chart review of all subjects and examined clinical data including patient demographics and medical histories. RESULTS Patients initially diagnosed with rodenticide poisoning were divided into two groups, one of which had a laboratory abnormality (prothrombin time [PT] > 13 seconds) and another group with PTs in the normal range. There was no significant difference between the two groups in any of age, gender, the extent of chronic alcohol consumption, the causative rodenticide, psychiatric problems, ingestion of drugs interacting with warfarin, the extent of intoxication, or the type of ingestion attempt. The albumin level of the former group was significantly lower than that of the latter group (p = 0.014). Furthermore, a significant difference between the two groups was evident in terms of simultaneous ingestion of rodenticide and alcohol (p = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS Most patients with superwarfarin poisoning did not exhibit any complication. When such complications were evident, they were associated with serum albumin level and coingestion of rodenticide and alcohol.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics is the study of the association between inter-individual genetic differences and drug responses. Researches in pharmacogenomics have been performed in compliance with the use of several genotyping technologies. In this study, a total of 392 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in 141 pharmacogenes, including 21 phase I, 13 phase II, 18 transporter and 5 modifier genes, were selected and genotyped in 150 subjects using the GoldenGate assay or the SNaPshot technique. These variants were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P>0.05), except for 22 SNPs. Genotyping of the 392 SNPs revealed that the minor allele frequencies of 47 SNPs were <0.05, 105 SNPs were monomorphic and 22 variants were not in HWE. Also, based on previous studies, we predicted the association between the polymorphisms of certain pharmacogenes, such as cytochrome P450 2D6, cytochrome P450 2C9, vitamin K epoxide reductase complex, subunit 1, cytochrome P450 2C19, human leukocyte antigen, class I, B and thiopurine S-methyltransferase, and drug efficacy. In conclusion, our study demonstrated the allele distribution of SNPs in 141 pharmacogenes as determined by high-throughput screening. Our results may be helpful in developing personalized medicines by using pharmacogene polymorphisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite substantial evidence supporting a pharmacogenetic approach to warfarin therapy in adults, evidence on the importance of genetics in warfarin therapy in children is limited, particularly for clinical outcomes. We assessed the contribution of CYP2C9/VKORC1/CYP4F2 genotypes and variation in other genes involved in vitamin K and coagulation pathways to warfarin dose and related clinical outcomes in children. PROCEDURE Clinical and genetic data for 93 children (age ≤ 18 years) who received warfarin therapy were obtained. DNA was genotyped for 93 selected single nucleotide polymorphisms using a custom assay. RESULTS With a median age of 4.8 years, our cohort included more young children than most previous studies. Overall, 76.3% of dose variability was explained by weight, indication, VKORC1-1639G/A and CYP2C9 *2/*3, with genotypes accounting for 21.1% of variability. There was a strong correlation (R(2) = 0.68; P < 0.001) between actual and predicted warfarin dose using a pediatric genotype-based dosing model. VKORC1 genotype had a significant impact on time to therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR) (P = 0.047) and time to over-anticoagulation (INR > 4; P = 0.024) during the initiation of therapy. CYP2C9*3 carriers were also at increased risk of major bleeding while receiving warfarin (adjusted OR = 11.28). An additional variant in CYP2C9 (rs7089580) was significantly associated with warfarin dose (P = 0.020) in a multivariate clinical and genetic model. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the importance of VKORC1/CYP2C9 genotypes for warfarin dosing in a young pediatric cohort and demonstrates an impact of genetic factors on clinical outcomes in children. Furthermore, we identified an additional variant in CYP2C9 of potential relevance for warfarin dosing in children.

Abstract
Drug response shows significant interpatient variability and evidence that genetics influences outcome of drug therapy has been known for more than five decades. However, the translation of this knowledge to clinical practice remains slow. Using examples from clinical practice six considerations about the implementation of pharmacogenetics (PGx) into routine care are discussed: the need for PGx biomarkers; the sources of genetic variability in drug response; the amount of variability explained by PGx; whether PGx test results are actionable; the level of evidence needed for implementation of PGx and the sources of information regarding interpretation of PGx data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of plasma phylloquinone concentrations with coronary artery calcification (CAC) and vascular calcification. APPROACH AND RESULTS In a prospective cohort of 508 postmenopausal women, plasma phylloquinone concentrations were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Calcification was measured in the coronary arteries, aortic valve, mitral valve, and thoracic aorta by multidetector computed tomography. To combine these calcification scores, we dichotomized each of the 4 areas into present or absent. Because of the continuous measurement of CAC, we categorized this as calcification present if Agatston score was >0, and calcification score was calculated as the sum of the calcified areas. Multivariate-adjusted prevalence ratios and odds ratios were estimated using Poisson regression and multinomial logistic regression. After 8.5 years of follow-up, 22% of the women had no calcification, whereas 5% had calcification in all measured areas. Detectable phylloquinone concentrations were associated with increased CAC compared with nondetectable phylloquinone concentrations with a prevalence ratio of 1.34 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.77). When dividing women with detectable phylloquinone concentrations into low detectable (>0-0.70 nmol/L) and moderate to high detectable (>0.70 nmol/L) phylloquinone concentrations versus nondetectable phylloquinone concentrations, both were associated with increased CAC with a prevalence ratio of 1.32 (95% confidence interval, 0.99-1.76) and 1.36 (95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.81), respectively. Detectable phylloquinone concentrations were not associated with the number of calcified areas with an odds ratio(no versus ≥ 3 areas calcifications) of 1.60 (95% confidence interval, 0.65-3.99; P=0.31). CONCLUSIONS Detectable phylloquinone concentrations are not associated with reduced vascular calcification but seemed to be associated with an increased prevalence of CAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computerized alert and reminder systems have been widely accepted and applied to various patient care settings, with increasing numbers of clinical laboratories communicating critical laboratory test values to professionals via either manual notification or automated alerting systems/computerized reminders. Warfarin, an oral anticoagulant, exhibits narrow therapeutic range between treatment response and adverse events. It requires close monitoring of prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) to ensure patient safety. This study was aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes of patients on warfarin therapy following implementation of a Personal Handy-phone System-based (PHS) alert system capable of generating and delivering text messages to communicate critical PT/INR laboratory results to practitioners' mobile phones in a large tertiary teaching hospital. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed comparing patient clinical outcomes and physician prescribing behavior following conversion from a manual laboratory result alert system to an automated system. Clinical outcomes and practitioner responses to both alert systems were compared. Complications to warfarin therapy, warfarin utilization, and PT/INR results were evaluated for both systems, as well as clinician time to read alert messages, time to warfarin therapy modification, and monitoring frequency. RESULTS No significant differences were detected in major hemorrhage and thromboembolism, warfarin prescribing patterns, PT/INR results, warfarin therapy modification, or monitoring frequency following implementation of the PHS text alert system. In both study periods, approximately 80% of critical results led to warfarin discontinuation or dose reduction. Senior physicians' follow-up response time to critical results was significantly decreased in the PHS alert study period (46.3% responded within 1 day) compared to the manual notification study period (24.7%; P = 0.015). No difference in follow-up response time was detected for junior physicians. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of an automated PHS-based text alert system did not adversely impact clinical or safety outcomes of patients on warfarin therapy. Approximately 80% immediate recognition of text alerts was achieved. The potential benefits of an automated PHS alert for senior physicians were demonstrated.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphisms are thought to contribute to the wide intraindividual variability in antiplatelet and anticoagulant drug response. Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic variants influence drug response and how the adoption of a more personalized approach in antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy may help to minimize harmful drug effects and optimize care for individual patients. However, due to sometimes conflicting evidence, the uptake of pharmacogenetics in the clinical setting has been slow. In this article, we review the genetic mechanisms contributing to the variability in response to three commonly used and emerging antiplatelet and anticoagulant drug therapies, namely clopidogrel, warfarin and dabigatran. We will focus on common genetic variants that influence the absorption, metabolism and/or action of these agents, including CYP2C19 (*2, *3 and *17), CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2C9, ABCB1, P2RY12, CYP2C9 (*2/*3), VKORC1 and CESI.
