Abstract
Patients who receive heart valve surgery need anticoagulation prophylaxis to reduce the risk of thrombosis. Warfarin often is a choice but its dosage varies due to gene and clinical factors. We aim to study, among them, if there is an interaction between acute kidney injury and two gene polymorphisms from this study. We extracted data of heart valve surgery recipients from the electronic health record (EHR) system of a medical center. The primary outcome is about the average daily dose of warfarin, measured as an additive interaction effect (INTadd) between acute kidney injury (AKI) and warfarin-related gene polymorphisms. The confounders, including age, sex, body surface area (BSA), comorbidities (i.e., atrial fibrillation [AF], hypertension [HTN], congestive heart failure [CHF]), serum albumin level, warfarin-relevant gene polymorphism (i.e., CYP2C9, VKORC1), prosthetic valve type (i.e., metal, bio), and warfarin history were controlled via a multivariate-linear regression model. The study included 200 patients, among whom 108 (54.00%) are female. Further, the mean age is 54.45 years, 31 (15.50%) have CHF, and 40 (20.00%) patients were prescribed concomitant amiodarone, which potentially overlays with the warfarin prophylaxis period. During the follow-up, AKI occurred in 30 (15.00%) patients. VKORC1 mutation (1639G>A) occurred in 25 (12.50%) patients and CYPC29 *2 or *3 mutations presented in 20 patients (10.00%). We found a significant additive interaction effect between AKI and VKORC1 (- 1.17, 95% CI - 1.82 to - 0.53, p = 0.0004). This result suggests it is probable that there is an interaction between acute kidney injury and the VKORC1 polymorphism for the warfarin dose during the initial period of anticoagulation prophylaxis.

Abstract
Introduction Elevated international normalized ratio (INR) has been commonly reported as an adverse drug event (ADE) for patients taking warfarin for anticoagulant therapy. Aim The purpose of this study was to determine the association between increased INR and the usage of warfarin by using the pharmacovigilance data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Methods The ADEs in patients who took warfarin (N = 77,010) were analyzed using FAERS data. Association rule mining was applied to identify warfarin-related ADEs that were most associated with elevated INR (n = 15,091) as well as possible drug-drug interactions (DDIs) associated with increased INR. Lift values were used to identify ADEs that were most commonly reported alongside elevated INR based on the correlation between both item sets. In addition, this study sought to determine if the increased INR risk was influenced by sex, age, temporal distribution, and geographic distribution and were reported as reporting odds ratios (RORs). Results The top 5 ADEs most associated with increased INR in patients taking warfarin were decreased hemoglobin (lift = 2.31), drug interactions (lift = 1.88), hematuria (lift = 1.58), asthenia (lift = 1.44), and fall (lift = 1.32). INR risk increased as age increased, with individuals older than 80 having a 63% greater likelihood of elevated INR compared to those younger than 50. Males were 9% more likely to report increased INR as an ADE compared to females. Individuals taking warfarin concomitantly with at least one other drug were 43% more likely to report increased INR. The top 5 most frequently identified DDIs in patients taking warfarin and presenting with elevated INR were acetaminophen (lift = 1.81), ramipril (lift = 1.71), furosemide (lift = 1.64), bisoprolol (lift = 1.58), and simvastatin (lift = 1.58). Conclusion The risk of elevated INR increased as patient age increased, particularly among those older than 80. Elevated INR frequently co-presented with decreased hemoglobin, drug interactions, hematuria, asthenia, and fall in patients taking warfarin. This effect may be less pronounced in women due to the procoagulatory effects of estrogen signaling. Multiple possible DDIs were identified, including acetaminophen, ramipril, and furosemide.

Genomewide Association Study Identifies Copy Number Variants Associated With Warfarin Dose Response and Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in African Americans. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2023; 113:624-633.

Abstract
The anticoagulant warfarin is commonly used to control and prevent thrombotic disorders, such as venous thromboembolism (VTE), which disproportionately afflicts African Americans. Despite the importance of copy number variants (CNVs), few studies have focused on characterizing and understanding their role in drug response and disease risk among African Americans. In this study, we conduct the first genome-wide analysis of CNVs to more comprehensively account for the contribution of genetic variation in warfarin dose requirement and VTE risk among African Americans. We used hidden Markov models to detect CNVs from high-throughput single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays for 340 African American participants in the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium. We identified 11,570 CNVs resulting in 2,038 copy number variable regions (CNVRs) and found 3 CNVRs associated with warfarin dose requirement and 3 CNVRs associated with VTE risk in African Americans. CNVRs 1q31.2del and 6q14.1del were associated with increased warfarin dose requirement (β = 11.18 and 4.94, respectively; Pemp = < 0.002); CNVR 19p13.31del was associated with decreased warfarin dose requirement (β = -1.41, Pemp = 0.0004); CNVRs (2p22.1del and 5q35.1-q35.2del) were found to be associated with increased risk of VTE (odds ratios (ORs) = 1.88 and 14.9, respectively; Pemp ≤0.02); and CNVR 10q26.12del was associated with a decreased risk of VTE (OR = 0.6; Pemp = 0.05). Modeling of the 10q26.12del in HepG2 cells revealed that this deletion results in decreased fibrinogen gene expression, decreased fibrinogen and WDR11 protein levels, and decreased secretion of fibrinogen into the extracellular matrix. We found robust evidence that CNVRs could contribute to warfarin dose requirement and risk of VTE in African Americans and for 10q26.3del describe a possible pathogenic mechanism.

Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Warfarin І - Model-based Analysis of Warfarin Enantiomers with a Target Mediated Drug Disposition Model Reveals CYP2C9 Genotype-dependent Drug-drug Interactions of S-Warfarin. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:DMD-AR-2022-000876. [PMID: 35798369 PMCID: PMC9488981 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.000876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study is to characterize the impact of CYP2C9 genotype on warfarin drug-drug interactions when warfarin is taken together with fluconazole, a cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitor, or rifampin, a CYP inducer with a nonlinear mixed effect modeling approach. A target mediated drug disposition model with a urine compartment was necessary to characterize both S-warfarin and R-warfarin plasma and urine pharmacokinetic profiles sufficiently. Following the administration of fluconazole, our study found subjects with CYP2C9 *2 or *3 alleles experience smaller changes in S-warfarin CL compared with subjects without these alleles (69.5%, 64.8%, 59.7% and 47.8% decrease in subjects with CYP2C9 *1/*1, *1/*3, *2/*3 and *3/*3 respectively). Whereas, following the administration of rifampin, subjects with CYP2C9 *2/*3 or CYP2C9 *3/*3 experience larger changes in S-warfarin CL compared with subjects with at least one copy of CYP2C9 *1 or *1B (115%, 111%, 119%, 198% and 193% increase in subjects with CYP2C9 *1/*1, *1B/*1B, *1/*3, *2/*3 and *3/*3 respectively). The results suggest different dose adjustments are potentially required for patients with different CYP2C9 genotypes if warfarin is administered together with CYP inhibitors or inducers. Significance Statement The present study found a target mediated drug disposition model is needed to sufficiently characterize the clinical pharmacokinetic profiles of warfarin racemates under different co-treatments in subjects with various CYP2C9 genotypes, following a single dose of warfarin administration. The study also found S-warfarin, the pharmacologically more active ingredient in warfarin, exhibits CYP2C9 genotype-dependent drug-drug interactions, which indicates the dose of warfarin may need to be adjusted differently in subjects with different CYP2C9 genotypes in the presence of drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing optimizes pharmacotherapy and reduces interindividual variation in drug responses. However, it is still not implemented in clinical practice in the West Bank of Palestine (WBP). The aim of this study was to determine the need for PGx education and testing among physicians from different specialties in WBP. METHODS This study used a cross-sectional survey that was administered to 381 physicians from different cities in WBP. The questionnaire consisted of 27 closed-ended questions that evaluate the exposure and attitude toward PGx education, the role of PGx testing in clinical practice, and the capabilities of physicians in PGx testing. RESULTS It was found that exposure to PGx education is low, with most of the respondents (81.1%) answering that PGx was not an integral part of their medical education. The majority (>90%) of the participants agreed that PGx should be included in the medical school curriculum. It was also found that 58.5% of the participants agreed that PGx testing is relevant to their current clinical practice. In addition, most of the participant physicians (>60%) think that they are currently not capable of prescribing and making decisions for pharmacotherapy based on PGx testing. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that there is a high need for PGx education and implementation in clinical practice in WBP. We recommend adding PGx courses to the curricula of medical schools and going forward with the implementation of PGx testing in clinical practice in WBP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Warfarin's narrow therapeutic index and high variability in dosage requirements make dosage selection critical. Genetic factors are known to impact warfarin dosage selection. The Hmong are a unique Asian subpopulation numbering over 278,000 in the United States whose participation in genetics-based research is virtually nonexistent. The translational significance of early reports of warfarin pharmacogene differences in Hmong has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES (i) To validate previously identified allele frequency differences relevant to warfarin dosing in Hmong versus East Asians and (ii) to compare predicted warfarin sensitivity and maintenance doses between a Hmong population and an East Asian cohort. METHOD DNA collected from two independent cohorts (n=236 and n=198) of Hmong adults were genotyped for CYP2C9 (*2, *3), VKORC1 (G-1639A), and CYP4F2 (*3). Allele frequencies between the combined Hmong cohort (n=433) and East Asians (n=1165) from the 2009 International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC) study were compared using a χ2 test. Percentages of Hmong and East Asian participants predicted to be very sensitive to warfarin were compared using a χ2 test, and the predicted mean warfarin maintenance dose was compared with a t test. RESULTS The allele frequencies of CYP2C9*3 in the combined Hmong cohort and CYP4F2*3 in the VIP-Hmong cohort are significantly different from those in East Asians (18.9% vs 3.0%, p<0.001 and 9.8% vs 22.1%, p<0.001, respectively). Comparing the combined Hmong cohort to the East Asian cohort, the percentage of participants predicted to be very sensitive to warfarin was significantly higher (28% vs 5%, p<0.01) and the mean predicted warfarin maintenance dose was significantly lower (19.8 vs 21.3 mg/week, p<0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION The unique allele frequencies related to warfarin when combined with nongenetic factors observed in the Hmong translate into clinically relevant differences in predicted maintenance dose requirements for Hmong versus East Asians.

Abstract
Background Vitamin K antagonist (warfarin) is the most classical and widely used oral anticoagulant with assuring anticoagulant effect, wide clinical indications and low price. Warfarin dosage requirements of different patients vary largely. For warfarin daily dosage prediction, the data imbalance in dataset leads to inaccurate prediction on the patients of rare genotype, who usually have large stable dosage requirement. To balance the dataset of patients treated with warfarin and improve the predictive accuracy, an appropriate partition of majority and minority groups, together with an oversampling method, is required. Method To solve the data-imbalance problem mentioned above, we developed a clustering-based oversampling technique denoted as DBCSMOTE, which combines density-based spatial clustering of application with noise (DBCSCAN) and synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE). DBCSMOTE automatically finds the minority groups by acquiring the association between samples in terms of the clinical features/genotypes and the warfarin dosage, and creates an extended dataset by adding the new synthetic samples of majority and minority groups. Meanwhile, two ensemble models, boosted regression tree (BRT) and random forest (RF), which are built on the extended dataset generateed by DBCSMOTE, accomplish the task of warfarin daily dosage prediction. Results DBCSMOTE and the comparison methods were tested on the datasets derived from our Hospital and International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC). As the results, DBCSMOTE-BRT obtained the highest R-squared (R2) of 0.424 and the smallest mean squared error (mse) of 1.08. In terms of the percentage of patients whose predicted dose of warfarin is within 20% of the actual stable therapeutic dose (20%-p), DBCSMOTE-BRT can achieve the largest value of 47.8% among predictive models. The more important thing is that DBCSMOTE saved about 68% computational time to achieve the same or better performance than the Evolutionary SMOTE, which was the best oversampling method in warfarin dose prediction by far. Meanwhile, in warfarin dose prediction, it is discovered that DBCSMOTE is more effective in integrating BRT than RF for warfarin dose prediction. Conclusion Our finding is that the genotypes, CYP2C9 and VKORC1, no doubt contribute to the predictive accuracy. It was also discovered left atrium diameter, glutamic pyruvic transaminase and serum creatinine included in the model actually improved the predictive accuracy; When congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus and valve replacement were absent in DBCSMOTE-BRT/RF, the predictive accuracy of DBCSMOTE-BRT/RF decreased. The oversampling ratio and number of minority clusters have a large impact on the effect of oversampling. According to our test, the predictive accuracy was high when the number of minority clusters was 6 ~ 8. The oversampling ratio for small minority clusters should be large (> 1.2) and for large minority clusters should be small (< 0.2). If the dataset becomes larger, the DBCSMOTE would be re-optimized and its BRT/RF model should be re-trained. DBCSMOTE-BRT/RF outperformed the current commonly-used tool called Warfarindosing. As compared to Evolutionary SMOTE-BRT and RF models, DBCSMOTE-BRT and RF models take only a small computational time to achieve the same or higher performance in many cases. In terms of predictive accuracy, RF is not as good as BRT. However, RF still has a powerful ability in generating a highly accurate model as the dataset increases; the software “WarfarinSeer v2.0” is a test version, which packed DBCSMOTE-BRT/RF. It could be a convenient tool for clinical application in warfarin treatment.

Abstract
Warfarin is the most commonly used anticoagulant in the clinical treatment of thromboembolic diseases. The dose of warfarin varies significantly within populations, and the dose is closely related to the genetic polymorphisms of the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes. In this study, a new CYP2C9 nonsynonymous mutation (8576C > T) was detected after the genetic screening of 162 patients took warfarin. This mutation, named as the new allele CYP2C9*62, can result in an arginine to cysteine amino acid substitution at position 125 of the CYP2C9 protein (R125C). When expressed in insect cells, the protein expression of CYP2C9.62 was significantly lower than that of the wild-type, and its metabolic activity was also significantly decreased after the addition of three typical CYP2C9 probe drugs, suggesting that the new mutant can dramatically affect the metabolism of CYP2C9 drugs in vitro.

Abstract
The one of the main aims in modern clinical pharmacology is to provide safe and effective therapy considering a frequent administration of several drugs having different drug-drug interactions. Warfarin belongs to the number of popular anticoagulants which along with its efficiency not infrequently alters anticoagulant characteristics when administered with other drugs and food products. A case of a decrease in the efficacy of warfarin in a patient with mitral stenosis while taking a combined choleretic drug is presented in the article. The components of this choleretic drug (dry animal bile, dry garlic extract, dry nettle extract, activated charcoal) could impair the absorption of warfarin, increase intestinal absorption of vitamin K, and have a negative effect on the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Management of patients receiving anticoagulants should be performed in accordance with clinical recommendations. Prescription of drugs, including multicomponent ones, without proven efficacy, for such patients should be considering the potential drug interaction.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 2C9 and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 genotypes are associated with anticoagulation control and the clinical events in warfarin therapy. However, the clinical utility of gene-based warfarin dosing (GBWD) is controversial. We compared the anticoagulation control and clinical events related to warfarin with GBWD to those with clinically fixed dosing (CFD). A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a real-world setting. Of the 915 patients who were reviewed, 844 patients met the study-entry criteria; 413 cases were guided by GBWD using the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Consortium algorithm; 431 cases were guided by CFD (2.5 mg/day). The primary outcomes were the time needed to achieve the therapeutic International Normalized Ratio (INR) and the time in the therapeutic range (TTR) during a 3-month timeframe. The time needed to achieve the therapeutic INR (in days) for patients in the GBWD group was shorter than that for patients in the CFD group (10.21 ± 4.68 vs. 14.31 ± 8.26, P < 0.001). The overall TTR (Day 4-90) was significantly different between the GBWD group and CFD group (56.86 ± 10.72 vs. 52.87 ± 13.92, P = 0.007).In subgroup analysis, the TTR was also significantly different between the GBWD group and CFD group during the first month of treatment (Day 4-14: 54.28 ± 21.90 vs. 47.01 ± 26.25, P = 0.012; Day 15-28: 59.60 ± 20.12 vs. 51.71 ± 18.96, P = 0.001). However, no significant difference in the TTR was observed after 29 days of treatment. These data suggest that GBWD provided clinical benefits.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (COVID-19) is known to induce severe inflammation and activation of the coagulation system, resulting in a prothrombotic state. Although inflammatory conditions and organ-specific diseases have been shown to be strong determinants of morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19, it is unclear whether preexisting differences in coagulation impact the severity of COVID-19. African Americans have higher rates of COVID-19 infection and disease-related morbidity and mortality. Moreover, African Americans are known to be at a higher risk for thrombotic events due to both biological and socioeconomic factors. In this review, we explore whether differences in baseline coagulation status and medical management of coagulation play an important role in COVID-19 disease severity and contribute to racial disparity trends within COVID-19.

Abstract
While genomic approaches to precision medicine hold great promise, they remain prohibitively expensive for developing countries. The precision public health paradigm, whereby healthcare decisions are made at the level of populations as opposed to individuals, provides one way for the genomics revolution to directly impact health outcomes in the developing world. Genomic approaches to precision public health require a deep understanding of local population genomics, which is still missing for many developing countries. We are investigating the population genomics of genetic variants that mediate drug response in an effort to inform healthcare decisions in Colombia. Our work focuses on two neighboring populations with distinct ancestry profiles: Antioquia and Chocó. Antioquia has primarily European genetic ancestry followed by Native American and African components, whereas Chocó shows mainly African ancestry with lower levels of Native American and European admixture. We performed a survey of the global distribution of pharmacogenomic variants followed by a more focused study of pharmacogenomic allele frequency differences between the two Colombian populations. Worldwide, we found pharmacogenomic variants to have both unusually high minor allele frequencies and high levels of population differentiation. A number of these pharmacogenomic variants also show anomalous effect allele frequencies within and between the two Colombian populations, and these differences were found to be associated with their distinct genetic ancestry profiles. For example, the C allele of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4149056 [Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter Family Member 1B1 (SLCO1B1)∗5], which is associated with an increased risk of toxicity to a commonly prescribed statin, is found at relatively high frequency in Antioquia and is associated with European ancestry. In addition to pharmacogenomic alleles related to increased toxicity risk, we also have evidence that alleles related to dosage and metabolism have large frequency differences between the two populations, which are associated with their specific ancestries. Using these findings, we have developed and validated an inexpensive allele-specific PCR assay to test for the presence of such population-enriched pharmacogenomic SNPs in Colombia. These results serve as an example of how population-centered approaches to pharmacogenomics can help to realize the promise of precision medicine in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis (PVT), in spite of the advances in the valve design and the material used, remains a serious complication of mechanical cardiac valve replacement. The factors influencing the development of PVT are: thrombogenicity of the valve, hemodynamics of the transprosthetic blood flow and ineffective anticoagulation. Genetic polymorphism of the genes VKORC1 (-1639 G > A and 1173 C > T), CYP2C9 (*2 & *3 alleles) and CYP4F2 (1347 G > A) are known to influence the anticoagulant dose-effect response. Since there has not been any earlier study on the direct influence of gene polymorphism on the development of PVT, we investigated into this association.Genotyping for the genes VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 was carried out by conventional PCR-RFLP method for 91 consecutive PVT patients. Subjects of our earlier study served as controls (n = 136).Female patients and patients with smaller prosthetic valve size were more prone to developing PVT (68%, n = 62). Patients bearing A allele of CYP4F2 1347 G > A polymorphism exhibited a fivefold increased risk of PVT (OR = 5.022 (1.39-18.04), P = .013). G allele of VKORC1 when analyzed in combination of genotypes showed a fourteen fold increased risk for developing PVT (OR = 14.25 (5.52-36.77), P = 0.001). CYP2C9 (*2&*3) gene polymorphism did not show any significant association with PVT (OR = 1.54 (0.128 - 18.82), P = .731).Patients bearing A allele of CYP4F2 showed an increased risk of developing PVT in our case - control study.

Abstract
Warfarin is the cardinal anticoagulant drug prescribed around the world. Due to stochastic bleeding in patients, it is essential to adjust the dose for every individual. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 gene polymorphisms and their association with warfarin maintenance dose in a sample of cardiovascular patients in Birjand, South-Khorasan province of Iran. Patients with a history of cardiovascular disorders who take warfarin daily were selected. CYP2C9 and VKORC1 gene polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in all participants. A total of 114 patients (mean age: 52.7 ± 14.9 years, M/F ratio: 0.76) participated in this study. Regarding CYP2C9 gene polymorphisms, the most frequent genotype was 1*/1* (80.4% in females and 62.5% in males). The frequency of 1*/2* and 2*/2* variants was 13% and 6.5% in females and 25% and 12.5% in males, respectively. The frequency of VKORC1 gene (1639 G > A), was 31.5%, 39.5%, and 29% for GG, GA, and AA in males, respectively. Besides, the mentioned genotype frequencies for females were 50%, 40.5%, and 9.5%, respectively. Moreover, there was a statistically significant correlation between VKORC1 gene -1639 G > A variant and warfarin maintenance dose (P < 0.001) but not for CYP2C9 variants. The results of the current study confirmed that the mutant variants of CYP2C9 are not frequent and do not have any impact on warfarin dose. In the case of VKORC1, the mutant allele (A) showed a positive correlation with warfarin dose adjustment.

Abstract
Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anti-coagulant in clinic practice. However, it is difficult to recommend the correct dosage due to its narrow therapeutic window. The aim of the present study was to verify the clinical value of the Lou type equation, using pharmacogenetics‑based warfarin dosing algorithms to appropriately predict the actual maintenance dose. A total of 87 Chinese Han patients who required treatment with warfarin were enrolled and randomly divided into the experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, the first 3 doses of warfarin were calculated according to the Lou type equation. While in the control group, these 3 treatments were performed following the doctors' recommendations. Then the dose of warfarin was gradually adjusted to the stable dose according to the changes in the international standardized ratio. At the end of the 50 day experimental period, there were a greater number of patients in the experimental group who exhibited a stable blood concentration of warfarin than those in the control group (83.35 and 64.4%, respectively). In addition, the mean and median times for patients to obtain a stable dose in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (mean, 18.2±1.7 and 27.3±2.0 days; and median, 11.7±1.1 and 20.5±1.8 days, respectively). The adverse reaction rate of the experimental group (9.5%) was markedly lower than that of the control group (26.7%). The occurrence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was also significantly later when compared with the control group (43.9±1.6 and 38.6±1.5 days, respectively). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the average predicted dose (3.4±1.1 mg/day) and the average actual dose (3.5±1.4 mg/day; P=0.313). In conclusion, using the Lou type warfarin pharmacokinetic dosing algorithm equation to administer warfarin markedly shortened the adjustment time of warfarin to reach a stable dose and reduced the adverse reactions rate, thus supporting clinical feasibility.

Abstract
Polymorphism in the genes encoding CYP2C9 enzyme and VKORC1 reductase significantly influence warfarin dose requirement since patients with CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3 and VKORC1 mutant alleles require lower warfarin maintenance doses. Studies have reported the ethnic variations in the frequency of these genes within the various populations in Iran and other parts of the world. However, no such study has been done yet on Kurdish population in Kermanshah. From Kurdish population of Kermanshah province in Iran, a total of 110 patients who had heart surgery and taking warfarin, were genotyped for polymorphisms of VKORC1-1639 G>A, CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3. Polymorphism genotyping was performed by sequencing as well as polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using restriction enzymes of MspI, AVAII and KpnI, respectively. The frequencies of VKORC1-1639 GG, GA, and AA genotypes were 42%, 36%, and 22%, respectively and for CYP2C9 1*/1*, 1*/2*, 2*/2*, 1*/3*, 3*/3*, 2*/3* were 71%, 17%, 5.4%, 1.8%, 4.5%, and 0%, respectively. The frequency of VKORC1-1639A allele was 42.3% and the frequencies of CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles were 14% and 5.4%, respectively. It was indicated that low warfarin dose requirements are strongly associated with the presence of CYP2C9 and VKORC1-1639 variant alleles. Our results confirmed the supply to understand the distribution of genomic biomarkers related to the drugs metabolism for future planning health programs.

Abstract
Anticoagulant drugs, like vitamin K antagonists and heparin, have been the mainstay for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolic disease for many years. Although effective if appropriately used, traditional anticoagulants have several limitations such as unpredictable pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic responses and various adverse effects including serious bleeding complications. New oral anticoagulants have recently emerged as an alternative because of their rapid onset/offset of action, predictable linear dose-response relationships and fewer drug interactions. However, they are still associated with problems such as bleeding, lack of reversal agents and standard laboratory monitoring. In an attempt to overcome these drawbacks, key steps of the hemostatic pathway are investigated as targets for anticoagulation. Here we reviewed the traditional and new anticoagulants with respect to their targets in the coagulation cascade, along with their therapeutic advantages and disadvantages. In addition, investigational anticoagulant drugs currently in the development stages were introduced.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx), a substantial component of "personalized medicine", seeks to understand each individual's genetic composition to optimize drug therapy -- maximizing beneficial drug response, while minimizing adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Drug responses are highly variable because innumerable factors contribute to ultimate phenotypic outcomes. Recent genome-wide PGx studies have provided some insight into genetic basis of variability in drug response. These can be grouped into three categories. [a] Monogenic (Mendelian) traits include early examples mostly of inherited disorders, and some severe (idiosyncratic) ADRs typically influenced by single rare coding variants. [b] Predominantly oligogenic traits represent variation largely influenced by a small number of major pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic genes. [c] Complex PGx traits resemble most multifactorial quantitative traits -- influenced by numerous small-effect variants, together with epigenetic effects and environmental factors. Prediction of monogenic drug responses is relatively simple, involving detection of underlying mutations; due to rarity of these events and incomplete penetrance, however, prospective tests based on genotype will have high false-positive rates, plus pharmacoeconomics will require justification. Prediction of predominantly oligogenic traits is slowly improving. Although a substantial fraction of variation can be explained by limited numbers of large-effect genetic variants, uncertainty in successful predictions and overall cost-benefit ratios will make such tests elusive for everyday clinical use. Prediction of complex PGx traits is almost impossible in the foreseeable future. Genome-wide association studies of large cohorts will continue to discover relevant genetic variants; however, these small-effect variants, combined, explain only a small fraction of phenotypic variance -- thus having limited predictive power and clinical utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) gene polymorphisms alters the required warfarin dose in patients, due to pharmacogenetic events. This study aimed to identify the frequency of the allele CYP2C9 polymorphic variants *2 and *3, and the association of these allelic variants with warfarin dosage in the population of the west Azerbaijan province in Iran. METHODS One hundred and seventy patients receiving warfarin were examined to evaluate the genotype frequency of common CYP2C9 polymorphisms. Genotype analysis for CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. To assess if the dosage is different between genotypes we used one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). RESULTS Frequency of the two variants in studied subjects was 12 % for CYP2C9*2 and 25.8 % for CYP2C9*3. Comparison of the warfarin daily maintenance dose between genotype groups showed that the daily mean dose of warfarin in patients who have homozygous wild-type genotype for CYP2C9 (*1/*1) was 5.26 ± 2.32 mg, which was significantly higher compared to *1/*2, *1/*3 (3.57 ± 2.25 mg, p <0.001) and *2/*2, *2/*3 and *3/*3 patients (3.76 ± 2.4 mg, p =0.024). Further analysis revealed that the allelic frequency of CYP2C9 polymorphisms in the study population was similar to that of the Turkish population. CONCLUSIONS Due to the relatively high frequency of CYP2C9 polymorphisms in the study population, the clinicians should become aware of these results to reduce the risk of hemorrhage when prescribing warfarin.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke represents one of the leading causes of death and disability in both the United States and abroad, particularly for patients with prior ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). A quintessential aspect of secondary stroke prevention is the use of different pharmacological agents, mainly antiplatelets and anticoagulants. Antiplatelets and anticoagulants exhibit their effect by blocking the activation pathways of platelets and the coagulation cascade, respectively. Clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of antiplatelets for noncardioembolic stroke prevention, while anticoagulants are more often used for cardioembolic stroke prevention. Commonly used antiplatelets include aspirin, clopidogrel, and aggrenox (aspirin plus extended-release dipyridamole). Furthermore, commonly used anticoagulants include warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban. Each of these drugs has a unique mechanism of action, and they share some common adverse events such as gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage in more serious cases. Consequently, physicians should carefully assess the benefits and risks of using different antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapies when managing patients with previous ischemic stroke or TIA. This review discuses the published literature on major clinical trials assessing the efficacy of different antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs under varying circumstances and the subsequent guidelines that have been developed by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Additionally, the role of imaging in stroke prevention is discussed.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Chronic rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients who undergo valve replacement with mechanical valves require lifelong anticoagulation. Acenocoumarol, a vitamin K antagonist has a narrow therapeutic range and wide inter-individual variability. Our aim was to investigate the influence of polymorphisms of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genes on the mean daily dose requirement of acenocoumarol. Methods: 205 chronic RHD patients, with mechanical heart valves and on acenocoumarol therapy, were recruited. Genotyping for VKORC1 (−1639G>A and 1173C>T) and CYP2C9 (*2 & *3 alleles) polymorphisms was done by PCR-RFLP. There was complete linkage disequilibrium between VKORC1 polymorphisms (r2 = 0.98, D′ = 1.0, LOD = 74.02). VKORC1 genotype distribution for GG/CC, GA/CT, and AA/TT were 57.6%, 36.1%, and 6.3%, respectively. CYP2C9 genotype distribution for *1/*1, *1/*3, *1/*2, *2/*2, and *2/*3 were 78.5%, 14.1%, 6.3%, 0.5%, and 0.5%, respectively. Patients with a wild type of both VKORC1 (−1639GG and 1173CC) and CYP2C9 gene variants required higher acenocoumarol dose compared to those with mutant genotype ( P = 0.023 and P = 0.008 respectively). On combined genotype analysis, patients having a combination of wild type of VKORC1 with wild type of CYP2C9 (44.4%) required higher daily dose compared to patients bearing heterozygous VKORC1 (−1639GA & 1173CT) with wild type of CYP2C9 (30.2%, P = 0.008). Conclusion: Presence of a mutant allele of VKORC1 (−1639A & 1173T) and CYP2C9 genes increased the odds of requiring a lower mean dosage of acenocoumarol. Studying the combination of genotypes in RHD patients could predict acenocoumarol dose requirement more accurately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Approximately 50% of inter-individual variation in warfarin dose requirements is attributed to the polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex, subunit 1 (VKORC1) genotypes. What contributes to the remaining 50% of variation remains unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical usefulness of monitoring plasma warfarin concentrations. We examined genotypic and clinical factors influencing high and low warfarin concentrations. METHODS We included 325 Korean patients who received warfarin therapy for more than 7 days whose plasma warfarin concentrations were measured and whose genotypes for VKORC1 and CYP2C9 were determined. The plasma concentrations of total warfarin and 7-hydroxywarfarin were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS Using 437 warfarin measurements obtained from 325 patients, we found a correlation between plasma warfarin concentration and warfarin dose (r (2) = 0.356; P < 0.001) and a significant difference in the warfarin/7-hydroxywarfarin ratios of the CYP2C9*1/*1 and CYP2C9*1/*3 genotypes combined with drugs that inhibited warfarin (P = 0.003). Insufficient warfarin dose and patient noncompliance were the most common causes of low warfarin concentrations (<0.54 µg/mL, <5th percentile). Genetic factors that cause pharmacodynamic resistance (e.g., VKORC1 genotype) and thus require high warfarin doses were the most common causes of high warfarin concentrations (>1.85 µg/mL, >95th percentile). CONCLUSION Monitoring warfarin concentrations along with the prothrombin time-international normalized ratio may be clinically useful for managing patients with long-term warfarin therapy and identifying factors contributing to inter- or intra-individual variability such as genetic polymorphisms, underlying diseases, drug interactions with warfarin, and patient compliance.

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
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
In recent years, substantial effort has been made to better understand the influence of genetic factors on the efficacy and safety of numerous medications. These investigations suggest that the use of pharmacogenetic data to inform physician decision-making has great potential to enhance patient care by reducing on-treatment clinical events, adverse drug reactions, and health care-related costs. In fact, integration of such information into the clinical setting may be particularly applicable for antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapeutics, given the increasing body of evidence implicating genetic variation in variable drug response. In this review, we summarize currently available pharmacogenetic information for the most commonly used antiplatelet (ie, clopidogrel and aspirin) and anticoagulation (ie, warfarin) medications. Furthermore, we highlight the currently known role of genetic variability in response to next-generation antiplatelet (prasugrel and ticagrelor) and anticoagulant (dabigatran) agents. While compelling evidence suggests that genetic variants are important determinants of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy response, significant barriers to clinical implementation of pharmacogenetic testing exist and are described herein. In addition, we briefly discuss development of new diagnostic targets and therapeutic strategies as well as implications for enhanced patient care. In conclusion, pharmacogenetic testing can provide important information to assist clinicians with prescribing the most personalized and effective antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy. However, several factors may limit its usefulness and should be considered.

Abstract
: Aleglitazar acts through balanced activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors α and γ; warfarin is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant. Given the extent of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes, cotreatment with aleglitazar and warfarin is likely in this population. This open-label, randomized, 2-period, crossover study in 12 healthy male subjects investigated the potential for drug-drug interactions between warfarin and aleglitazar (final data drawn from 11 white subjects). The primary objective was to investigate the effect of aleglitazar on the pharmacokinetic properties of S-warfarin and on the pharmacodynamics of the racemic mixture; the secondary objectives included the effect of aleglitazar on R-warfarin pharmacokinetics and of racemic warfarin on aleglitazar pharmacokinetics. Subjects were randomized to single-dose warfarin on day 1 or aleglitazar once daily (12 days) plus single-dose warfarin on day 6 followed by a 14-day washout period, then crossover. Coadministration of aleglitazar reduced S- and R-warfarin exposure (AUC0-∞) by 18% and 13%, respectively, but did not change its pharmacodynamic effects (prothrombin time and factor VII activity). After warfarin dosing, aleglitazar trough concentrations remained within the same range. These findings indicate that coadministration of aleglitazar and warfarin is unlikely to affect the efficacy or safety of either agent.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY 2014; 7:2558-2564.

Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of VKORC (1173T/C, rs9934438) and CYP2C9 (1075A/C, rs1057910) are major contributory factors on the sensitivity of warfarin in Chinese. Analysis of the two genomic loci could help warfarin treatment individual from bleeding or thrombosis events. An assay with the advantages of simplicity, speed, high sensitivity and low cost for genotyping is calling for clinical laboratories. High resolution method (HRM) meets these callings, but no study with large sample tested its performance in genotyping of rs9934438 and rs1057910. In this study, we identified polymorphisms of rs9934438 and rs1057910 in 255 unrelated Chinese heart valve replacement patients of Han ethnic group from West China Hospital. The two genomic loci were genotyped by HRM using LightCycler® 480 High Resolution Melting Master on LightCycler® 480 Real-Time PCR instruments (Roche Diagnostics), and all amplified PCR products were sent for direct DNA sequencing. The genotyping of rs1057910 between HRM and sequencing showed perfect 100% concordance. While the concordance of rs9934438 between HRM and sequencing was 99.2%. Unexpected mutation interfered genotyping results of HRM when genotyping rs9934438. HRM is a valuable technique for genotype detection of rs9934438 and rs1057910 to assess individual sensitivity to warfarin, where DNA sequencing is added inevitably sometimes.
