Abstract
Vitamin K antagtonists (VKAs) have, for decades, been the corner-stone of anticoagulation in the outpatient setting. While the long half life makes once daily administration practical, close monitoring of VKA effect is necessary because these medicines have a narrow therapeutic index. Despite inter-individual variations in response to VKA doses, the increasing availability of specialized anticoagulation monitoring systems, along with a better understanding of potential drug and dietary interactions, has made the use of VKAs safer and less burdensome. In the future, newer classes of oral anticoagulants and genomic-based dosing strategies may further expand or improve the management options for many patients at risk for thromboembolism.

Abstract
CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes could be used to predict warfarin requirement. The objective was to develop and validate a warfarin dosing algorithm using genetic, clinical and demographic data of Chinese patients from an anticoagulation clinic in Hong Kong. Blood samples were collected from 100 patients on stable maintenance dose of warfarin, recruited from an anticoagulation clinic, for genotyping CYP2C9 and VKORC1. Clinical and demographic data were obtained by face-to-face interview and medical chart review. Data of 80 patients (study cohort) were randomly selected for deriving a dosing algorithm. Comparison between predicted dose and actual stable doses was conducted in a validation cohort (n = 20). Sixty-nine (69%) of all 100 patients were homozygous for VKORC1 1173-TT, 25 (25%) were VKORC1 1173-CT heterozygotes and six (6%) were homozygous for VKORC1 1173-CC. 6 (6%) patients were CYP2C9 1*/3* and 94 (94%) were CYP2C9 1*/1*. CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotype, age, weight and vitamin K intake were identified by stepwise regression modelling to produce the best model for estimating warfarin dose (R (2) = 68%, P < 0.001). In the validation cohort (n = 20), actual stable dose was significantly associated with predicted dose (R = 0.6, P = 0.005). Five of 11 (45.6%) and 5/9 (55.6%) patients whose mean warfarin requirements were ≤ 3 mg/day and >3 mg/day, respectively, were within <20% of actual doses. In conclusion, a genotype-guided dosing algorithm for warfarin therapy was developed for Chinese patients to explain 68% of dosage variation. The predicted doses differed from the actual doses by no more than 20% in 50% of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Initiating warfarin is challenging in frail elderly patients because of low-dose requirements and interindividual variability. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether incorporating VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotype information in different models helped to predict the warfarin maintenance dose when added to clinical data and INR values at baseline (Day 0), and during warfarin induction. PATIENTS We prospectively enrolled 187 elderly inpatients (mean age, 85.6 years), all starting on warfarin using the same 'geriatric dosing-algorithm' based on the INR value measured on the day after three 4-mg warfarin doses (INR(3)) and on INR(6 ± 1). RESULTS On Day 0, the clinical model failed to accurately predict the maintenance dose (R(2) < 0.10). Adding the VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes to the model increased R(2) to 0.31. On Day 3, the INR(3) value was the strongest predictor, completely embedding the VKORC1 genotype, whereas the CYP2C9 genotype remained a significant predictor (model- R(2) 0.55). On Day 6 ± 1, none of the genotypes predicted the maintenance dose. Finally, the simple 'geriatric dosing-algorithm' was the most accurate algorithm on Day 3 (R(2) 0.77) and Day 6 (R(2) 0.81), under-estimating (≥ 1 mg) and over-estimating the dose (≥ 1 mg) in fewer than 10% and 2% of patients, respectively. Clinical models and the 'geriatric dosing-algorithm' were validated on an independent sample. CONCLUSIONS Before starting warfarin therapy, the VKORC1 genotype is the best predictor of the maintenance dose. Once treatment is started using induction doses tailored for elderly patients, the contribution of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes in dose refinement is negligible compared with two INR values measured during the first week of treatment.

Abstract
Currently, there are very few guidelines linking the results of pharmacogenetic tests to specific therapeutic recommendations. Therefore, the Royal Dutch Association for the Advancement of Pharmacy established the Pharmacogenetics Working Group with the objective of developing pharmacogenetics-based therapeutic (dose) recommendations. After systematic review of the literature, recommendations were developed for 53 drugs associated with genes coding for CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, thiopurine-S-methyltransferase (TPMT), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), HLA-B44, HLA-B*5701, CYP3A5, and factor V Leiden (FVL).

Abstract
A single nucleotide polymorphism c.-1639G>A in the promoter region of vitamin K-epoxide reductase (VKORC1) gene has been found to account for most of the variability in response to oral vitamin K antagonist (VKA). Our aim was to study the effect of c.-1639G>A polymorphism on the acenocoumarol dosage requirements in a group of patients under stable anticoagulation, and to estimate the variability in response to VKA. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 200 stable anticoagulation patients followed from the initiation of VKA. Out of 43 low-dose patients, 40 (93%) carried the A allele. The A allele was less frequent in the group of 30 patients requiring high VKA dose; among these patients 13 (43.3%) carried the A allele in the heterozygous form and none of them carried AA genotype. Patients with GG genotype required 2.6 times higher dose than patients carriers of AA genotype (P < 0.0001). Carriers of AA genotype were more likely to be overanticoagulated during follow-up after initiation of VKA when compared with carriers of the GA and GG genotypes (P < 0.0001). Patients with GG genotype spent more time below therapeutic range compared with patients carriers of AA (P = 0.0328) and GA genotype (P < 0.0001). VKORC1 c.-1639G>A polymorphism significantly influenced VKA dose and represented a good predictor of individuals predisposed to unstable anticoagulation. Pharmacogenetic testing could predict a high risk of overdose among 28.5% of our patients, carriers of AA genotype, before the initiation of anticoagulation.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic risk models offer great promise as treatment decision tools; however, their uptake in routine clinical practice is so far disappointing, not least due to the lack of evidence of their benefit in randomized controlled trials and other types of studies. Prior to conducting such a study, it is imperative that the model’s predictive capability is first of all proven, and that it is shown to be superior to the most appropriate alternative model. When demonstrating predictive capability, clinical implications of applying the model should be a key consideration, and the Decision Curve Analysis method takes this into account for binary outcomes. Furthermore, when comparing a novel model to the best alternative, methods such as Net Reclassification Improvement or Integrated Discrimination Difference are recommended as they provide a more reliable comparison than other methods currently in common use. Where outcome is continuous, such as therapeutic dose, assessing a model’s performance is generally more intuitive and straightforward since the aim is to achieve a predicted dose as close as possible to the true therapeutic dose.

Abstract
Warfarin is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant drug for the prevention of thromboembolic disorders. We investigated the contribution of genetic variations of four genes and clinical factors to warfarin dose requirement and provided a warfarin-dosing algorithm based on genetic and clinical variables in Korean patients. We recruited 564 Korean patients on stable anticoagulation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the VKORC1, CYP2C9, CYP4F2 and GGCX were analyzed. Using multiple regression analysis, we developed a model to predict the warfarin requirement. The SNPs of VKORC1, CYP2C9, CYP4F2 and GGCX showed significant correlation with warfarin dose. Patients with the 3730AA genotype received significantly higher doses of warfarin than those with the 3730GG (P=0.0001). For CYP2C9, the highest maintenance dose was observed in the patients with wild-type genotype compared with the variant allele carriers (P<0.0001). The multiple regression model including age, gender, body surface area (BSA), international normalized ratio (INR) and four genetic polymorphisms accounted for 35% of total variations in warfarin dose (R(2)=0.3499; P<0.0001). This study shows that age, gender, BSA, INR and VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 polymorphism affect warfarin dose requirements in Koreans. Translation of this knowledge into clinical guidelines for warfarin prescription may contribute to improve the efficacy and safety of warfarin treatment for Korean patients.

Abstract
The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the genotype of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1) on warfarin dose requirements in Japanese pediatric patients. Forty-eight pediatric patients (0.42-19.25 years old) in whom stable anticoagulation was achieved by warfarin were enrolled in this study, and the polymorphic alleles of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 were determined for each subject. The relative impact of covariates on the anticoagulant effect of warfarin was evaluated by multiple regression analysis. It was found that VKORC1 genotype and age were major factors affecting the relationship between the weight-normalized warfarin dose and the therapeutic prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR). Because only one patient had the CYP2C9*3 allele, we could not evaluate the effect of CYP2C9 polymorphisms on the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. In contrast, the anticoagulant effect of warfarin in patients with the VKORC1 1173CT or 1173CC genotype was 52.3% of that in patients with the 1173TT genotype. In addition, the anticoagulant effect of warfarin was shown to increase by 10.5% per year in Japanese pediatric patients. In conclusion, genotyping of VKORC1 will be useful in establishing individual anticoagulant therapy with warfarin, and it should be noted that a higher weight-normalized dose of warfarin is required in younger pediatric patients.

Abstract
Anticoagulant therapy with coumarin derivatives is often sub- or supra-therapeutic, resulting in an increased risk of thromboembolic events or hemorrhage, respectively. Pharmacogenetic-guided dosing has been proposed as an effective way of reducing bleeding rates. Clinical trials to confirm the safety, efficacy and effectiveness of this strategy are ongoing, but in addition, it is also necessary to consider the cost-effectiveness of this strategy. This article describes the findings of a systematic review of published cost-effectiveness analyses of pharmacogenetic-guided dosing of coumarin derivatives. Similarities and differences in the approaches used were examined and the quality of the analyses was assessed. The results of the analyses are not sufficient to determine whether or not pharmacogenetic-guided dosing of coumarins is cost effective. More reliable cost-effectiveness estimates need to become available before it is possible to recommend whether or not this strategy should be applied in clinical practice.

Abstract
Aim: A total of 371 patients under stable warfarin therapy were retrospectively selected to develop a pharmacogenetic algorithm to identify the individual maintenance dose. Materials & methods: The variables that were entered into the algorithm were: VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 polymorphisms, body surface area and age. Results: The percentage of cases whose predicted mean weekly warfarin dose was within 20% of the actual maintenance dose was 51.8% considering patients overall, and were 36.2, 66.2 and 55.4%, respectively, taking into account patients requiring low (≤25 mg/week), intermediate (25–45 mg/week) and high (≥45 mg/week) doses. The algorithm could correctly assign 73.8 and 63.2% of patients to the low- and high-dose regimens, respectively. We developed and validated a pharmacogenetic algorithm in a series of Italian patients, we then tested, in the same series of italian patients, the formulas of three published algorithms. These three algorithms were developed and validated by their authors in a series of patients different from our own. The performance of our algorithm in our patients series was slightly higher than that achieved when using the three other algorithms in our patients series. Conclusion: The high predictive accuracy of low and high warfarin requirements of our algorithm warrants its application in prospective studies for clinical validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) is the molecular target of oral anticoagulants. Mutations in VKORC1 cause partial or total coumarin resistance. OBJECTIVES To identify new VKORC1 oral anticoagulant (OAC) resistance (OACR) mutations and compare the severity of patient phenotypes across different mutations and prescribed OAC drugs. PATIENTS/METHODS Six hundred and twenty-six individuals exhibiting partial or complete coumarin resistance were analyzed by VKORC1 gene sequencing and CYP2C9 haplotyping. RESULTS We identified 13 patients, each with a different, novel human VKORC1 heterozygous mutation associated with an OACR phenotype. These mutations result in amino acid substitutions: Ala26→Thr, His28→Gln, Asp36→Gly, Ser52→Trp, Ser56→Phe, Trp59→Leu, Trp59→Cys, Val66→Gly, Gly71→Ala, Asn77→Ser, Asn77→Tyr, Ile123→Asn, and Tyr139→His. Ten additional patients each had one of three previously reported VKORC1 mutations (Val29→Leu, Asp36→Tyr, and Val66→Met). Genotyping of frequent VKORC1 and CYP2C9 polymorphisms in these patients revealed a predominant association with combined non-VKORC1*2 and wild-type CYP2C9 haplotypes. Additionally, data for OAC dosage and the associated measured International Normalized Ratio (INR) demonstrate that OAC therapy is often discontinued by physicians, although stable therapeutic INR levels may be reached at higher OAC dosages. Bioinformatic analysis of VKORC1 homologous protein sequences indicated that most mutations cluster into protein sequence segments predicted to be localized in the lumenal loop or at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane-lumen interface. CONCLUSIONS OACR mutations of VKORC1 predispose afflicted patients to high OAC dosage requirements, for which stable, therapeutic INRs can sometimes be attained.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the VKORC1*3 (rs7294/9041 G > A), VKORC1*4 (rs17708472/6009 C > T), and CYP4F2 (rs2108622/1347 C > T) polymorphisms were associated with elevated warfarin maintenance dose requirements in patients with myocardial infarction (n = 105) from the Warfarin Aspirin Reinfarction Study (WARIS-II). We found significant associations between elevated warfarin dose requirements and VKORC1*3 and VKORC1*4 polymorphisms (P = .001 and P = .004, resp.), whereas CYP4F2 (1347 C > T) showed a weak association on higher warfarin dose requirements (P = .09). However, analysing these variant alleles in a regression analysis together with our previously reported data on VKORC1*2, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 polymorphisms, gave no significant associations for neither VKORC1*3, VKORC1*4 nor CYP4F2 (1347 C > T). In conclusion, in patients with myocardial infarction, the individual contribution to warfarin dose requirements from VKORC1*3, VKORC1*4, and CYP4F2 (1347 C > T) polymorphisms was negligible. Our results indicate that pharmacogenetic testing for VKORC1*2, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 is more informative regarding warfarin dose requirements than testing for VKORC1*3, VKORC1*4, and CYP4F2 (1347 C > T) polymorphisms.

Abstract
Warfarin exhibits wide interpatient variability in dosing requirements. Recent studies have shown a novel polymorphism (rs2108622, V433M) in the CYP4F2 gene to be associated with variability in warfarin requirements in Caucasians. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of rs2108622 on warfarin dose requirements in the Asian population. The mean warfarin dose was found to be significantly lower in patients carrying homozygous wild-type allele CC when compared with patients carrying variant alleles CT and TT (CC vs CT+TT: 3.0 mg/day vs 3.75 mg/day, p = 0.033). In patients harboring VKORC1 diplotypes associated with low warfarin requirements, a linear regression model which included age, weight, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 variants accounted for 38% of the variability in warfarin dose. Approximately 11% of the dose variation was explained by CYP4F2 rs2108622 (p = 0.004). The influence of rs2108622 in patients harboring VKORC1 diplotypes associated with high warfarin requirements was not significant. This study suggests that CYP4F2 rs2108622 may significantly affect warfarin dose requirements in carriers of VKORC1 low-dose-associated diplotypes.

Abstract
Background A key challenge in pharmacogenomics is the identification of genes whose variants contribute to drug response phenotypes, which can include severe adverse effects. Pharmacogenomics GWAS attempt to elucidate genotypes predictive of drug response. However, the size of these studies has severely limited their power and potential application. We propose a novel knowledge integration and SNP aggregation approach for identifying genes impacting drug response. Our SNP aggregation method characterizes the degree to which uncommon alleles of a gene are associated with drug response. We first use pre-existing knowledge sources to rank pharmacogenes by their likelihood to affect drug response. We then define a summary score for each gene based on allele frequencies and train linear and logistic regression classifiers to predict drug response phenotypes. Results We applied our method to a published warfarin GWAS data set comprising 181 individuals. We find that our method can increase the power of the GWAS to identify both VKORC1 and CYP2C9 as warfarin pharmacogenes, where the original analysis had only identified VKORC1. Additionally, we find that our method can be used to discriminate between low-dose (AUROC=0.886) and high-dose (AUROC=0.764) responders. Conclusions Our method offers a new route for candidate pharmacogene discovery from pharmacogenomics GWAS, and serves as a foundation for future work in methods for predictive pharmacogenomics.

Abstract
Rivaroxaban is a small-molecule, direct factor Xa inhibitor that is under investigation for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thrombosis. To date, oral anticoagulants have been limited largely to vitamin K antagonists. Despite their remarkable benefits, vitamin K antagonists are limited by their narrow therapeutic window, the existence of multiple food and drug interactions, and the need for frequent monitoring and dose-adjustment. Rivaroxaban represents a potentially attractive alternative to warfarin, as it could enable simplified once-daily dosing, requires no therapeutic monitoring, and has a lower potential for drug interactions. At present, the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism has been evaluated in phase-II and phase-III trials involving over 24,000 patients. Rivaroxaban is also being evaluated for the treatment of pulmonary embolism, secondary prevention after acute coronary syndromes, and the prevention of stroke and non-central nervous system embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The need for new oral anticoagulants, the development and pharmacology of rivaroxaban, results of completed studies of rivaroxaban, and details of ongoing phase-II and phase-III trials with rivaroxaban are the subjects of this chapter.

Abstract
Adverse drug events affect millions of patients each year. An important drug-drug interaction between amiodarone and vitamin K antagonists is encountered frequently in daily clinical practice. Warfarin, a commonly used anticoagulant, is a mixture of 2 optically active isomers (R and S enantiomers). The S enantiomer is approximately 3 times more potent than the R enantiomer and is metabolized primarily by CYP2C9. Inhibition of CYP2C9 by amiodarone and its major metabolite potentiates the anticoagulant effects of warfarin, increasing the risk of serious bleeding. In contrast, dronedarone, a synthetic derivative of amiodarone the structure of which lacks the iodine moiety, is less likely to cause a drug-drug interaction with warfarin. Accordingly, dronedarone may be a particularly attractive antiarrhythmic choice among patients with atrial fibrillation who are also being treated with warfarin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Warfarin dosing remains challenging because of its narrow therapeutic window and large variability in dose response. We sought to analyze new factors involved in its dosing and to evaluate eight dosing algorithms, including two developed by the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC). METHODS we enrolled 108 patients on chronic warfarin therapy and obtained complete clinical and pharmacy records; we genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms relevant to the VKORC1, CYP2C9, and CYP4F2 genes using integrated fluidic circuits made by Fluidigm. RESULTS When applying the IWPC pharmacogenetic algorithm to our cohort of patients, the percentage of patients within 1 mg/d of the therapeutic warfarin dose increases from 54% to 63% using clinical factors only, or from 38% using a fixed-dose approach. CYP4F2 adds 4% to the fraction of the variability in dose (R) explained by the IWPC pharmacogenetic algorithm (P<0.05). Importantly, we show that pooling rare variants substantially increases the R for CYP2C9 (rare variants: P=0.0065, R=6%; common variants: P=0.0034, R=7%; rare and common variants: P=0.00018; R=12%), indicating that relatively rare variants not genotyped in genome-wide association studies may be important. In addition, the IWPC pharmacogenetic algorithm and the Gage (2008) algorithm perform best (IWPC: R=50%; Gage: R=49%), and all pharmacogenetic algorithms outperform the IWPC clinical equation (R=22%). VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes did not affect long-term variability in dose. Finally, the Fluidigm platform, a novel warfarin genotyping method, showed 99.65% concordance between different operators and instruments. CONCLUSION CYP4F2 and pooled rare variants of CYP2C9 significantly improve the ability to estimate warfarin dose.

Abstract
Warfarin, acenocoumarol, and phenprocoumon are among the major anticoagulant drugs worldwide. Because of their low therapeutic index and serious adverse reactions (ADRs), their wide use, and their varying kinetics and pharmacogenetic dependence, it is of great importance to explore further possibilities to forecast the dose beyond conventional INR measurements. Here, we describe particulars of the relative pharmacogenetic influence on the kinetics of these agents, the population distribution of genetics risk groups, and novel data on clinical features with influence on dose requirement and ADR risk. The usefulness of genetic information prior to and soon after start of therapy is also discussed. The current renewed focus on these issues is caused not only because of new genetic knowledge and genotyping facilities but also because of the high rate of serious ADRs. Application of these measures in the care of patients with anticoagulant therapy is important awaiting new therapeutic principles to be introduced, which may take long time still.

Abstract
An improvement in drug treatment and clinical outcome is one of the major challenges in clinical medicine. The development of evidence-based standards of care has led to a significant improvement, but, by definition, strictly standardized cohorts in clinical trials have to ignore individual differences. Personalized medicine is defined as the application of genomic and molecular data to better target the delivery of healthcare, facilitate the discovery and clinical testing of new products, and help determine a person's predisposition to a particular disease or condition. After the deciphering of the human genome, however, the high expectations in individualized medicine were not always fulfilled. However, personalized medicine has become indispensable in the treatment of malignant diseases and there is increasing evidence for its benefit in other areas. This article outlines the impact of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics, especially with regard to personalized medicine, in major medical indications and reflects the obstacles and chances taken in current daily practice.

Abstract
The term pharmacogenetics was first used in the late 1950s and can be defined as the study of genetic factors affecting drug response. Prior to formal use of this term, there was already clinical data available in relation to variable patient responses to the drugs isoniazid, primaquine and succinylcholine. The subject area developed rapidly, particularly with regard to genetic factors affecting drug disposition. There is now comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis for variable drug metabolism by the cytochromes P450 and also for variable glucuronidation, acetylation and methylation of certain drugs. Some of this knowledge has already been translated to the clinic. The molecular basis of variation in drug targets, such as receptors and enzymes, is generally less well understood, although there is consistent evidence that polymorphisms in the genes encoding the β-adrenergic receptors and the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase is of clinical importance. The genetic basis of rare idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions had also been examined. Susceptibility to reactions affecting skin and liver appears to be determined in part by the HLA (human leucocyte antigen) genotype, whereas reactions affecting the heart and muscle may be determined by polymorphisms in genes encoding ion channels and transporters respectively. Genome-wide association studies are increasingly being used to study drug response and susceptibility to adverse drug reactions, resulting in identification of some novel pharmacogenetic associations.

Abstract
Susceptibility to osteoporosis seems to be influenced genetically. Previous studies on the effects of genetic polymorphisms on bone mineral density (BMD) showed controversial results. Vitamin K hydrochinon is an important cofactor for gamma carboxylation of osteocalcin. The reduction of vitamin K to vitamin K hydrochinon depends on the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1). We evaluated the impact of polymorphisms in VKORC1 on BMD and fractures. In this single-center study, 184 individuals (141 female subjects and 43 male subjects, mean age: 63.2 +/- 14.3 years) were recruited. In all, 149 of 184 could be genotyped by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the VKORC1 variants 3673G>A or 9041G>A. The genotypes were correlated with clinical parameters. Vitamin K(1) concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); carboxylated (GlaOC) and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (GluOC) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The 9041 GG and GA genotypes were significantly more frequent in patients with low BMD (P = 0.012). Thus, carriers of at least 1 G-allele seem to have a higher risk for low BMD. No statistically significant association was found for the 3673 G>A variant and BMD. GluOC concentrations were higher in patients who carried a 3673 GA and GG genotypes (P = 0.07). For both variants, no association with fractures could be observed. In our cohort, a genetic variation in the 3'-region of the VKORC1 gene (9041 AG and GG) was associated significantly with low BMD. This finding suggests that VKORC1 may play a role in osteoporosis. The results of our pilot study should be confirmed as our findings may be important for treatment decisions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Warfarin is widely used anticoagulant drug for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous and arterial thromboembolic disorders and exerts its anticoagulant effect by inhibiting the vitamin K epoxide reductase. To determine the impact of genetic variants of the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 gene (VKORC1) on the anticoagulant response to warfarin, polymorphisms in exon 1, exon 3, and 3'-untranslated region (3' UTR) were assessed. RESULTS Sixty patients (34 males and 26 females) with stable INR (2-3) were selected from cardiology and anticoagulant clinic. Three VKORC1 frameshift mutations were detected. The first frameshift mutation was nucleotide deletion (91delCC) in exon 3 (1 patient). The second variation was nucleotide addition (51addCT) in exon 3 (2 patients). All the 3 patients reported bleeding during warfarin use, while no other bleeding was reported during the study period. Warfarin maintenance dose was significantly different between 3 patients with mutations and patients without mutations. The use of a fixed-dose warfarin for all patients and in range INR may not be sufficient for warfarin monitoring. Many factors including unknown ones may also play an important role in highly variable response among patients. Our data for the first time, suggested a new possible call for screening to reduce the risk of bleeding and guide for dosing.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to improve our understanding of the worldwide allele frequency distribution of four genetic polymorphisms known to influence warfarin dosing (VKORC1 rs9923231, CYP2C9 rs1799853, CYP2C9 rs1057910 and CYP4F2 rs2108622). These four polymorphisms were genotyped in the Human Genome Diversity Project-Centre Etude Polymorphism Humain (HGDP-CEPH) worldwide sample (N=963), as well as in a sample of individuals of European, East Asian and South Asian ancestry living in Canada (N=316). The VKORC1 rs9923231 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) showed an extensive geographic differentiation, with the derived T allele appearing at very high allele frequencies in East Asian populations. Results from several tests of positive selection indicate that this unusual distribution may be the result of positive selection in East Asia. Understanding the worldwide distribution of markers determining warfarin dosing is important for the future application of pharmacogenomic-based algorithms to different population groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To fulfill the model based drug development, the very first step is usually a model establishment from published literatures. Pharmacokinetics model is the central piece of model based drug development. This paper proposed an important approach to transform published non-compartment model pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters into compartment model PK parameters. This meta-analysis was performed with a multivariate nonlinear mixed model. A conditional first-order linearization approach was developed for statistical estimation and inference. RESULTS Using MDZ as an example, we showed that this approach successfully transformed 6 non-compartment model PK parameters from 10 publications into 5 compartment model PK parameters. In simulation studies, we showed that this multivariate nonlinear mixed model had little relative bias (<1%) in estimating compartment model PK parameters if all non-compartment PK parameters were reported in every study. If there missing non-compartment PK parameters existed in some published literatures, the relative bias of compartment model PK parameter was still small (<3%). The 95% coverage probabilities of these PK parameter estimates were above 85%. CONCLUSIONS This non-compartment model PK parameter transformation into compartment model meta-analysis approach possesses valid statistical inference. It can be routinely used for model based drug development.

Abstract
Arterial and venous thromboembolism account for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Warfarin, and other vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), have been the only class of oral anticoagulants currently in clinical use and have been so for over 50 years. Although warfarin is effective in preventing thromboembolism, its use is limited by its narrow therapeutic index that necessitates frequent monitoring and dose adjustments resulting in considerable inconvenience to patients and clinicians. There are now several orally administered anticoagulants in late stages of clinical development that may offer effective, safer, and more convenient anticoagulation. This review summarizes and compares data on novel anticoagulants in the prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism, acute coronary syndromes, and the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
Warfarin is a drug with a narrow therapeutic index and a wide interindividual variability in dose requirement. Because it is difficult to predict an accurate dose for an individual, patients starting the drug are at risk of thromboembolism or bleeding associated with underdosing or overdosing, respectively. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) genes have been shown to have a significant effect on warfarin dose requirement. Other genes mediating the action of warfarin make either little or no contribution to dose requirement. Although the polymorphisms in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 explain a significant proportion of the interindividual variability in warfarin dose requirement, currently available evidence based on a few small studies relating to the use of pharmacogenetics-guided dosing in the initiation of warfarin therapy has not shown improved outcomes in either safety or efficacy of therapy. Better clinical evidence of beneficial effects on patient outcome, particularly at the extremes of the dose requirements in geographically and ethnically diverse patient populations, is needed before the role of a pharmacogenomic approach to oral anticoagulation therapy in clinical practice can be established.

Abstract
Warfarin has long been the mainstay of oral anticoagulation therapy for the treatment and prevention of venous and arterial thrombosis. The narrow therapeutic index of warfarin, and the complex number of factors that influence international normalized ratio (INR) response, makes optimization of warfarin therapy challenging. Determination of the appropriate warfarin dose during initiation and maintenance therapy requires an understanding of patient factors that influence dose response: age, body weight, nutritional status, acute and chronic disease states, and changes in concomitant drug therapy and diet. This review will examine specific clinical factors that can affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of warfarin, as well as the role of pharmacogenetics in optimizing warfarin therapy.

Abstract
Well-characterized genes that affect warfarin metabolism (cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9) and sensitivity (vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1)) explain one-third of the variability in therapeutic dose before the international normalized ratio (INR) is measured. To determine genotypic relevance after INR becomes available, we derived clinical and pharmacogenetic refinement algorithms on the basis of INR values (on day 4 or 5 of therapy), clinical factors, and genotype. After adjusting for INR, CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes remained significant predictors (P < 0.001) of warfarin dose. The clinical algorithm had an R(2) of 48% (median absolute error (MAE): 7.0 mg/week) and the pharmacogenetic algorithm had an R(2) of 63% (MAE: 5.5 mg/week) in the derivation set (N = 969). In independent validation sets, the R(2) was 26-43% with the clinical algorithm and 42-58% when genotype was added (P = 0.002). After several days of therapy, a pharmacogenetic algorithm estimates the therapeutic warfarin dose more accurately than one using clinical factors and INR response alone.

Abstract
Genotyping has the potential to improve the efficacy and safety of major antithrombotic drugs. For warfarin, the stable maintenance dose varies from 1-10 mg/day. The VKORC1 -1639G>A allele and the CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles (cumulative frequency: 90% in Asians, 65% in Europeans and 20% in Africans), explain 45% of response variability in European and 30% in African populations. The large clinical trials COAG and EU-PACT will define the extent to which pharmacogenetic dosing affects the safety and efficacy of warfarin and coumarin derivatives. The platelet inhibitor clopidogrel requires activation by the CYP2C19 enzyme. CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles (cumulative frequency: 20-50%) produce null enzyme activity, and their presence attenuates platelet inhibition and increases cardiovascular events. The US FDA-mandated drug labeling recognizes the relevance of genotyping in the selection and dosing of both warfarin and clopidogrel.

Abstract
AIMS Patient demographics and variant alleles in the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes account for 50% of the population variability in warfarin maintenance doses. These variant alleles occur in varying frequencies between racial groups and contribute to differences in mean dose requirements between these groups. We used a pharmacogenetic simulation to estimate warfarin maintenance doses in an ethnically diverse cohort. MATERIALS & METHODS In total, 366 individuals with coronary disease, of mixed South Pacific and European ethnicity, were genotyped for the CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853), *3 (rs1057910) and the VKORC1*2 haplotype, -1639 G>A, (rs9923231). The cohort contained New Zealand Europeans (n = 287), Mãori (n = 49), Pacific Islanders (n = 21) and Chinese subjects (n = 9). SNPs were genotyped using the Sequenom (CA, USA) mass spectrometer. Body surface area, age, smoking status and genotype were entered into a modified pharmacogenetic algorithm with a target international normalized ratio of 2.5. Bootstrap analysis using the @RISK software v5.0, (Palisade Co., NY, USA) was performed to simulate a population of 1000 for each ethnic group. RESULTS Simulated warfarin doses were lower in Chinese subjects than New Zealand Europeans (Δ1.39 mg; 95% CI: 0.4-2.4; p = 0.006) owing to the high prevalence of the VKORC1*2 haplotype in Chinese subjects. Doses were higher in Pacific Islanders compared with New Zealand Europeans (Δ1.26 mg; 95% CI: 0.6-1.9; p = 0.0002) owing to the near absence of the CYP2C9 variant alleles. Simulated warfarin doses in Mãori patients were similar to those in European patients. CONCLUSION This simulation study demonstrated differences in mean warfarin maintenance doses between ethnic groups in this cohort. Individualizing treatment regimens, using pharmacogenetics, may reduce ethnic disparities in treatment outcomes, particularly if differences can be appreciated at the genomic level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Phenprocoumon, similar to other coumarin-derived anticoagulants, is associated with a large variation in the individual dose requirement to achieve stable anticoagulation. Polymorphisms in the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) and the liver enzyme cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) effectively account for the variability in warfarin and acenocoumarol response but are less well-defined pharmacogenetic predictors in phenprocoumon therapy. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 185 outpatients attending anticoagulation clinics in Austria and Germany. These patients were genotyped for the VKORC1 -1639G>A and 3730G>A polymorphisms as well as for the CYP2C9 *2 and *3 polymorphisms using a reverse hybridisation-based teststrip assay. RESULTS The VKORC1 -1639A allele, which was present at a frequency of 41.4% in the study cohort, significantly reduced the mean weekly phenprocoumon dose by 3 mg (19%) in the heterozygous and by 6.7 mg (43%) in the homozygous state compared to wild-type carriers (15.5 +/- 6.8 mg, p < 0.0001). A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that VKORC1 -1639G>A, age and CYP2C9*3 were the major independent determinants of phenprocoumon dose, accounting for 14.2, 9.1 and 4.7% of its variability, respectively (p </= 0.0007). The CYP2C9*2 polymorphism had a marginal influence (1.4%) and failed to reach statistical significance (p = 0.062). The VKORC1 3730G>A genotype had no additional predictive power for individual dose variability. CONCLUSION Similar to warfarin and acenocoumarol, the VKORC1 -1639G>A polymorphism had the highest impact on the maintenance dose of phenprocoumon. The factor age was the second most important predictor and explained a greater percentage of the variability than CYP2C9 genotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of developing a Combined Clinical and Pharmacogenetic Predictive Test, comprised of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that is associated with poor bronchodilator response (BDR). METHODS We genotyped SNPs that tagged the whole genome of the parents and children in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) and implemented an algorithm using a family-based association test that ranked SNPs by statistical power. The top eight SNPs that were associated with BDR comprised the Pharmacogenetic Predictive Test. The Clinical Predictive Test was comprised of baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). We evaluated these predictive tests and a Combined Clinical and Pharmacogenetic Predictive Test in three distinct populations: the children of the CAMP trial and two additional clinical trial populations of asthma. Our outcome measure was poor BDR, defined as BDR of less than 20th percentile in each population. BDR was calculated as the percent difference between the prebronchodilator and postbronchodilator (two puffs of albuterol at 180 microg/puff) FEV1 value. To assess the predictive ability of the test, the corresponding area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) were calculated for each population. RESULTS The AUROC values for the Clinical Predictive Test alone were not significantly different from 0.50, the AUROC of a random classifier. Our Combined Clinical and Pharmacogenetic Predictive Test comprised of genetic polymorphisms in addition to FEV1 predicted poor BDR with an AUROC of 0.65 in the CAMP children (n = 422) and 0.60 (n = 475) and 0.63 (n = 235) in the two independent populations. Both the Combined Clinical and Pharmacogenetic Predictive Test and the Pharmacogenetic Predictive Test were significantly more accurate than the Clinical Predictive Test (AUROC between 0.44 and 0.55) in each of the populations. CONCLUSION Our finding that genetic polymorphisms with a clinical trait are associated with BDR suggests that there is promise in using multiple genetic polymorphisms simultaneously to predict which asthmatics are likely to respond poorly to bronchodilators.

Abstract
A daily dose of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) may vary and its range depends on various interrelated factors. Low responsiveness to VKA (defined as a failure to achieve a target international normalized ratio [INR]) is associated with polymorphisms of the vitamin K epoxide reductase-oxidase complex gene (VKORC1). A highly prevalent promoter single-nucleotide polymorphism (VKORC1-1639 G>A, rs17878363) impairs VKORC1 expression and determines the interindividual variability of the target INR. We studied 57 patients receiving oral anticoagulation, including 50 subjects treated with acenocoumarol (mean dose: 5.7+/-2.3 mg/day) and 7 treated with warfarin (mean dose: 9.6+/-4.2 mg/day). The indications for the use of oral anticoagulant therapy were as follows: deep-vein thrombosis (N = 23); pulmonary embolism (N = 20); arterial thrombosis (N = 5); stroke (N = 4); atrial fibrillation with transient ischemic attacks (N = 2), and history of multiple thromboembolic events (N = 3). Identification of the VKORC1 genomic variation was performed using DNA sequencing methods. The prevalence of the mutated allele (VKORC1 -1639A) was 41%. The VKORC1 -1639G allele carriers required a higher daily dose of acenocoumarol (5.9+/-1.9 mg) than the noncarriers (4.1+/-3.3 mg; P < 0.001). All of 5 low responders (who failed to achieve a target INR using standard dose requirements of VKAs) were homozygous for the 1639G allele. Low responders did not differ from good responders with respect to age, gender, and body mass index. Our findings suggest the potential benefits from pharmacogenetic testing, and provide evidence that the VKORC1 -1639 G>A gene polymorphism may explain at least in part the low responsiveness to acenocoumarol.
