Abstract
Introduction/Objective. Coumarin therapy represents one of the best models
for applying pharmacogenetics. The contribution of factors influencing
coumarin therapy can vary significantly between ethnic groups, which
justifies conducting population-specific studies. The aim of this study was
to analyze the influence of the most important genetic factors (VKORC1 and
CYP2C9 genes) that affect coumarin therapy in patients from Serbia.
Methods. A retrospective study involving 207 patients on acenocoumarol
therapy was conducted. Genetic analyses were performed by direct sequencing.
Influence on acenocoumarol dose of variants (VKORC1, CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3)
causing hypersensitivity and VKORC1 variants causing resistance to
acenocoumarol were analyzed. Multiple regression analysis was used to design
a mathematical model for predicting individual drug dosage based on
clinical-demographic and genetic data. Results. The study confirmed
significant influence of the analyzed genetic factors on acenocoumarol
maintenance dose. We designed mathematical model for predicting individual
acenocoumarol dose and its unadjusted R2 was 61.8. In the testing cohort,
our model gave R2 value of 42.6 and showed better prediction in comparison
with model given by other authors. In the analyzed patients, nine different
variants in the VKORC1 coding region were found. Among carriers of these
variants 78% were completely resistant, and it was not possible to achieve
therapeutic effect even with high doses of acenocoumarol. Conclusions.
Population-specific model for prediction individual dose of acenocoumarol,
may show advantages over protocols that are used in a generalized manner.
Also, VKORC1 variants which cause coumarin resistance should be considered
when planning therapy.

Acenocoumarol Pharmacogenetic Dosing Algorithm versus Usual Care in Patients with Venous Thromboembolism: A Randomised Clinical Trial. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10132949. [PMID: 34209131 PMCID: PMC8268204 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10132949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) require immediate treatment with anticoagulants such as acenocoumarol. This multicentre randomised clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of a dosing pharmacogenetic algorithm versus a standard-of-care dose adjustment at the beginning of acenocoumarol treatment. We included 144 patients with VTE. On the day of recruitment, a blood sample was obtained for genotyping (CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, VKORC1, CYP4F2, APOE). Dose adjustment was performed on day 3 or 4 after the start of treatment according to the assigned group and the follow-up was at 12 weeks. The principal variable was the percentage of patients with an international normalised ratio (INR) within the therapeutic range on day 7. Thirty-four (47.2%) patients had an INR within the therapeutic range at day 7 after the start of treatment in the genotype-guided group compared with 14 (21.9%) in the control group (p = 0.0023). There were no significant differences in the time to achieve a stable INR, the number of INRs within the range in the first 6 weeks and at the end of study. Our results suggest the use of a pharmacogenetic algorithm for patients with VTE could be useful in achieving target INR control in the first days of treatment.

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2020; 35:539-547. [PMID: 33061049 DOI: 10.1007/s12055-019-00812-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2019] [Revised: 02/12/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), such as warfarin and acenocoumarol, exert their anti-coagulant effect by inhibiting the subunit 1 of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex (VKORC1). CYP2C9 is a hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme in the CYP450 superfamily and is the primary metabolizing enzyme of warfarin. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms, two in the CYP2C9 gene, namely CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, and one in the VKORC1 gene (c.- 1639G > A, rs9923231), have been identified to reduce VKA metabolism and enhance their anti-coagulation effect. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphism in Indians receiving VKA-based anti-coagulation after valve surgery and to evaluate the usefulness of genetic information in managing VKA-based anti-coagulation. Methods In the current prospective observational study, 150 patients who underwent heart valve surgery and had stable INR were genotyped for VKORC1 (- 1639 G > A), CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3. The VKA dosage was estimated from published algorithms and compared to the clinically stabilized dosage. Results Out of 150 patients, 101 (67.33%) were on warfarin and 49 (32.66%) were on acenocoumarol. Majority of the patients, the 83 in warfarin group and the 40 in acenocoumarol group, had a wild CYP2C9 diplotype. The rest had a mutant (CYP2C9*2 or CYP2C9*3) diplotype. Similarly, 67 patients in the warfarin group and 35 patients in the acenocoumarol group had wild type (G/G) of VKORC1 genotype. The rest had a mutant (G/A or A/A) VKORC1 genotype. In the warfarin group, based on the genotype, 51.5% of the patients were extensive or normal metabolizers, and 47.4% of the patients were intermediate metabolizers of VKAs. In the acenocoumarol group, 61.2% of the patients were extensive or normal metabolizers, and 38.8% of the patients were intermediate metabolizers. Individually, alleles of VKORC1 (- 1639 G > A), CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3 had mean dosage reduction effect on VKA dosage, which co-related to the clinically stabilized dosages (P < 0.0001). Among the VKORC1 (- 1639 G > A) cohort, the reduction in warfarin mean weekly dosage was 13.48 mg as compared to the wild-type category (P < 0.0001) and similarly, the reduction in the mean weekly acenocoumarol dose was 6.07 mg (P < 0.03) as compared to the wild type after adjusting for age, gender, and body mass index. Conclusion Single nucleotide polymorphism in the CYP2C9 gene and in the VKORC1 gene is present in nearly 40% of Indian patients. VKORC1 (- 1639 G > A), CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3 genotypes have significant dosage-lowering effects on VKA-based anti-coagulation therapy. The trend in estimated dosages of VKAs co-related to that of observed the clinically stabilized dosage in the cohort. The pharmacogenomic calculators used in this study tend to overestimate the VKA dosages as compared to clinical dosage due to the limitations in the algorithms and in our study. A new algorithm based on a larger dataset capturing the vast genetic variability across the Indian population and relevant clinical factors could provide better results.

Abstract
Background Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are used as prophylaxis for thromboembolic events in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The most common VKA are warfarin and acenocoumarol. These drugs have a narrow therapeutic margin and high inter-individual response variability due to clinical and pharmacogenetic variables. Objective The authors aim to develop an algorithm comprised of clinical and genetic factors to explain the variability in the therapeutic dose of acenocoumarol among Chilean patients Methodology DNA was obtained from 304 patients as a discovery cohort with an international normalized ratio (INR) range of 2.0–3.0. The non-genetic (demographic and clinical) variables were also recorded. Genotype analyses were performed using real-time PCR for VKORC1 (rs9923231), VKORC1 (rs7294), GGCx (rs11676382), CYP4F2 (rs2108622), ABCB1 (rs1045642), CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853), ApoE (rs429358), and CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910). Results The clinical variables that significantly influenced the weekly therapeutic dose of VKA were age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and initial INR, collectively accounting for 19% of the variability, and the genetic variables with a significant impact were VKORC1 (rs9923231), CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853), and CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910), explaining for another 37% of the variability. Conclusion We developed an algorithm that explains 49.99% of the variability in therapeutic VKA dosage in the Chilean population studied. Factors that significantly affected the dosage included VKORC1, CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3 polymorphisms, as well as age, sex, BMI, and initial INR.

Genome-Wide Association Study of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 on acenocoumarol dose, stroke recurrence and intracranial haemorrhage in Spain. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2806. [PMID: 32071341 PMCID: PMC7028945 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-59641-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Acenocoumarol is an oral anticoagulant with significant interindividual dose variations. Variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 have been associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose. We analysed whether any of the 49 polymorphisms in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 previously associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose in a Genome-Wide Association study (GWAs) in Dutch population are associated with stroke recurrence, intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) and acenocoumarol maintenance dose in a Spanish population. We performed a GWAs using Human Core Exome-chip (Illumina) in 78 patients stroke patients treated with acenocoumarol for secondary prevention enrolled as part of the prospective investigator-initiated study (IIS) SEDMAN Study. Patients were followed-up a median of 12.8 months. Three and eight patients had recurrent stroke and ICH events, respectively. We found 14 of the 49 published variants associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose (p < 0.05). Six polymorphisms were associated with stroke recurrence and four variants with ICH (p < 0.05). In conclusion, variants in VKORC1 and CYP2C9 are associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose, stroke recurrence and ICH in a Spanish cohort. These results highlight the relevance of studying pharmacogenetics associated with efficacy and safety of anticoagulant drugs and justify studies with larger sample size and different ethnic populations.

Abstract
Background Dose requirements of vitamin K antagonists are associated with CYP2C9 and VKORC1, but, compared to warfarin, less data is available about phenprocoumon. Furthermore, the effects on dose stability and anticoagulation quality are still unclear. Methods Aim was to scrutinize phenprocoumon dose requirements, dose stability and anticoagulation quality in association to CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in a natural cohort of elderly primary care patients. As a subgroup within the IDrug study, phenprocoumon treated patients with at least two INR values within three months before enrollment (n = 209) were analyzed concerning average weekly dose, standard deviation of weekly dose (intra-subject variability), constant dose (yes/no), average INR and TTR grouped by CYP2C9 and VKORC1 (and combinations). Results Average weekly dose per patient was 14.4 ± 5.3 mg, 11.9 ± 4.0 mg and 11.2 ± 4.3 mg in CYP2C9 wildtypes, *2 and *3 carriers (p < .0001) and 16.0 ± 4.2 mg, 13.3 ± 5.1 mg and 8.0 ± 2.7 mg per week in VKORC1 CC, CT and TT genotypes, respectively (p < .0001). Significant differences concerning intra-subject variability were detected among all groups (p < .0001) with the smallest variability in CYP2C9*3 carriers. TTR medians were 75.4%, 79.4% and 100% in wildtypes, *2 and *3 carriers, respectively (p = 0.0464). The proportion of patients with perfect control was highest among *3 carriers, but this result was not significant (p = 0.0713). Discussion Our analyses support the results of previous investigations regarding genotype-associated dose requirements and raise the hypothesis that dose stability and anticoagulation quality may be increased in CYP2C9*3 carriers. However, our data should be treated cautiously due to the small sample size. Clinical Trial Registration German Clinical Trials Register, identifier DRKS00006256.

Abstract
The current manuscript is the second update of the original Practical Guide, published in 2013 [Heidbuchel et al. European Heart Rhythm Association Practical Guide on the use of new oral anticoagulants in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Europace 2013;15:625-651; Heidbuchel et al. Updated European Heart Rhythm Association Practical Guide on the use of non-vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Europace 2015;17:1467-1507]. Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are an alternative for vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and have emerged as the preferred choice, particularly in patients newly started on anticoagulation. Both physicians and patients are becoming more accustomed to the use of these drugs in clinical practice. However, many unresolved questions on how to optimally use these agents in specific clinical situations remain. The European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) set out to coordinate a unified way of informing physicians on the use of the different NOACs. A writing group identified 20 topics of concrete clinical scenarios for which practical answers were formulated, based on available evidence. The 20 topics are as follows i.e., (1) Eligibility for NOACs; (2) Practical start-up and follow-up scheme for patients on NOACs; (3) Ensuring adherence to prescribed oral anticoagulant intake; (4) Switching between anticoagulant regimens; (5) Pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions of NOACs; (6) NOACs in patients with chronic kidney or advanced liver disease; (7) How to measure the anticoagulant effect of NOACs; (8) NOAC plasma level measurement: rare indications, precautions, and potential pitfalls; (9) How to deal with dosing errors; (10) What to do if there is a (suspected) overdose without bleeding, or a clotting test is indicating a potential risk of bleeding; (11) Management of bleeding under NOAC therapy; (12) Patients undergoing a planned invasive procedure, surgery or ablation; (13) Patients requiring an urgent surgical intervention; (14) Patients with AF and coronary artery disease; (15) Avoiding confusion with NOAC dosing across indications; (16) Cardioversion in a NOAC-treated patient; (17) AF patients presenting with acute stroke while on NOACs; (18) NOACs in special situations; (19) Anticoagulation in AF patients with a malignancy; and (20) Optimizing dose adjustments of VKA. Additional information and downloads of the text and anticoagulation cards in different languages can be found on an EHRA website (www.NOACforAF.eu).

Abstract
Anticoagulant treatment is extremely important and frequently encountered in the therapy of various cardiovascular diseases. Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are in use for the prevention and treatment of arterial and venous thromboembolism, despite the introduction of new direct-acting oral anticoagulants (NOAC). The VKA still have the clear recommendation in patients with a mechanical prosthetic heart valve replacement or moderate to severe mitral stenosis of the rheumatic origin, in deep vein thrombosis associated with congenital thrombophilia, and in cases where NOAC are prohibited by social condition (financial reason) or by comorbidities (extreme weight, severe renal or liver disease). VKA dosing required to reach the targeted therapeutic range varies largely between patients (inter-individual variability). This inter-individual variability depends on multiple environmental factors such as age, mass, diet, etc. but it is also influenced by genetic determinism. About 30 genes implicated in the metabolism coumarins derivatives were identified, the most important being CYP2C9 and VKORC, each with several polymorphisms. Herein, we review the data regarding genetic alterations in general and specific populations, highlight the diagnosis options in particular cases presenting with genetic alteration causing higher sensitivity and/or resistance to VKA therapy and underline the utility of NOAC in solving such rare and difficult problems.

Abstract
There is a special interest in the implementation of pharmacogenetics in clinical practice, although there are some barriers that are preventing this integration. A large part of these pharmacogenetic tests are focused on drugs used in oncology and psychiatry fields and for antiviral drugs. However, the scientific evidence is also high for other drugs used in other medical areas, for example, in cardiology. In this article, we discuss the evidence and guidelines currently available on pharmacogenetics for clopidogrel, warfarin, acenocoumarol, and simvastatin and its implementation in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of clinical and genetic factors on the phenprocoumon dose requirement in pediatric patients and to develop a dosing algorithm. METHODS Pediatric patients who used phenprocoumon were invited to participate in a retrospective follow-up study. Clinical information and genotypes of genetic variations in CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, CYP2C18 and CYP3A4 were collected and tested with linear regression for association with phenprocoumon dose requirement. RESULTS Of the 41 patients included in the analysis, age, VKORC1, CYP2C9*2/*3 and CYP3A4*1B were statistically significantly associated with dose requirement, and together explained 80.4% of the variability in phenprocoumon dose requirement. CONCLUSION Our study reveals that age and genetic variations explain a significant part of the variability in phenprocoumon dose requirement in pediatric patients.

The pediatric acenocoumarol dosing algorithm: the Children Anticoagulation and Pharmacogenetics Study. J Thromb Haemost 2018; 16:1732-1742.

Abstract
Essentials A pediatric pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm for acenocoumarol has not yet been developed. We conducted a multicenter retrospective follow-up study in children in the Netherlands. Body surface area and indication explained 45.0% of the variability in dose requirement. Adding the genotypes of VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP2C18 to the algorithm increased this to 61.8%. SUMMARY Background The large variability in dose requirement of vitamin K antagonists is well known. For warfarin, pediatric dosing algorithms have been developed to predict the correct dose for a patient; however, this is not the case for acenocoumarol. Objectives To develop dosing algorithms for pediatric patients receiving acenocoumarol with and without genetic information. Methods The Children Anticoagulation and Pharmacogenetics Study was designed as a multicenter retrospective follow-up study in Dutch anticoagulation clinics and children's hospitals. Pediatric patients who used acenocoumarol between 1995 and 2014 were selected for inclusion. Clinical information and saliva samples for genotyping of the genes encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1), CYP4F2, CYP2C18 and CYP3A4 were collected. Linear regression was used to analyze their association with the log mean stable dose. A stable period was defined as three or more consecutive International Normalized Ratio measurements within the therapeutic range over a period of ≥ 3 weeks. Results In total, 175 patients were included in the study, of whom 86 had a stable period and no missing clinical information (clinical cohort; median age 8.9 years, and 49% female). For 80 of these 86 patients, genetic information was also available (genetic cohort). The clinical algorithm, containing body surface area and indication, explained 45.0% of the variability in dose requirement of acenocoumarol. After addition of the VKORC1, CYP2C9, and CYP2C18 genotypes to the algorithm, this increased to 61.8%. Conclusions These findings show that clinical factors had the largest impact on the required dose of acenocoumarol in pediatric patients. Nevertheless, genetic factors, and especially VKORC1, also explained a significant part of the variability.

Abstract
Oral anticoagulants (OAs) are the recommended drugs to prevent cardiovascular events and recurrence in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardioembolic stroke. We conducted a literature search to review the current state of OAs pharmacogenomics, focusing on Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAs) in patients treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). VKAs: Warfarin, acenocoumarol, fluindione and phenprocoumon have long been used, but their interindividual variability and narrow therapeutic/safety ratio makes their dosage difficult. GWAs have been useful in finding genetic variants associated with VKAs response. The main genes involved in VKAs pharmacogenetics are: VKORC1, CYP2C19 and CYP4F2. Variants in these genes have been included in pharmacogenetic algorithms to predict the VKAs dose individually in each patient depending on their genotype and clinical variables. DOACs: Dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban have been approved for patients with AF. They have stable pharmacokinetics and do not require routine blood checks, thus avoiding most of the drawbacks of VKAs. Except for a GWAs performed in patients treated with dabigatran, there is no Genome Wide pharmacogenomics data for DOACs. Pharmacogenomics could be useful to predict the better clinical response and avoid adverse events in patients treated with anticoagulants, identifying the most appropriate anticoagulant drug for each patient. Current pharmacogenomics data show that the polymorphisms affecting VKAs or DOACs are different, concluding that personalized medicine based on pharmacogenomics could be possible. However, more studies are required to implement personalized medicine in clinical practice with OA and based on pharmacogenetics of DOACs.

Abstract
The current concept in searching for new bioactive products, including mainly original active substances with potential application in pharmacy and medicine, is based on compounds with a previously determined structure, well-known properties, and biological activity profile. Nowadays, many commonly used drugs originated from natural sources. Moreover, some natural materials have become the source of leading structures for processing further chemical modifications. Many organic compounds with great therapeutic significance have the nitro group in their structure. Very often, nitro compounds are active substances in many well-known preparations belonging to different groups of medicines that are classified according to their pharmacological potencies. Moreover, the nitro group is part of the chemical structure of veterinary drugs. In this review, we describe many bioactive substances with the nitro group, divided into ten categories, including substances with exciting activity and that are currently undergoing clinical trials.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of non-genetics factors, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VKORC1, CYP2C9, CYP4F2, and GGCX on acenocoumarol dosage in Moroccan adult's patients, in order to develop an algorithm to predict acenocoumarol dose for Moroccan patients. Our study consisted of 217 Moroccan patients taking a maintenance dose of acenocoumarol for various indications. The patients were genotyped for VKORC1 -1639 G>A, VKORC1 1173 C>T, CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, CYP4F2 1347 G>A and GGCX 12970 C>G SNPs. The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software. The age and SNPs in VKORC1 and CYP2C9 were significantly associated with the weekly acenocoumarol dose requirement (p = 0.023, p = 0.0001 and p = 0.001 respectively). There was no association found between the weekly acenocoumarol dose and the CYP4F2 or GGCX variants (p-value > 0.05). Non-parametric analysis confirmed the accumulate effect of variant alleles at VKORC1 -1639 G>A, VKORC1 1173 C>T and CYP2C9 SNPs on the acenocoumarol dose requirement. With 90.24% less dose required for one patient carrying homozygote variant at VKORC1 -1173 (TT) and CYP2C9 *x/*x haplotype. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that mutation in VKORC1 -1639, VKORC1 1173 SNPs, or in CYP2C9 haplotype reduces the mean acenocoumarol weekly dose to 25.4%, 23.4% and 6.2%, respectively. The R2 for multiple regression analysis final model was found to be 35.9%. In this work we were able to establish the factors influencing interindividual sensitivity to the anticoagulant therapy that can help physicians to predict optimal dose requirement for long term therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to study potential variables involved in interindividual variability to acenocoumarol (AC) response in order to establish a pharmacogenetic algorithm (PA) that includes clinical and genetic factors to predict adequate AC dose to stabilize anticoagulation in a cohort of Tunisian patients. METHODS Genotyping of the CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, and CALU polymorphisms was conducted on 246 patients using PCR-RFLP technique. AC normalized maintenance dose (NMD): ((mean maintenance dose/international normalized ratio (INR)) equilibrium) was calculated. The statistical study was carried out with SPSS V20. RESULTS A significant correlation was found between age, BMI, and daily AC dose (r = - 0.397; p < 0.001 and r = 0.215; p = 0.001, respectively). The carriers of mutated alleles CYP2C9*2 or CYP2C9*3 or VKORC1 haplotypes (H1 and H7) were associated with AC hyper-sensibility. After adjustment to potential covariates, these patients presented supra-therapeutic INR during treatment period and needed low AC dose (ORs* = 0.28 [0.06-0.60], p = 0.004; ORs* = 0.12 [0.04-0.05], p < 0.001; ORs* = 0.45 [0.24-0.84], p = 0.01; and ORs* = 0.28 [0.06-0.98], p = 0.049, respectively). However, carriers of VKORC1 haplotypes (H3 and H12) or mutated alleles CYP4F2 (rs2108622) or CALU (rs1043550) tend to resist to treatment, hence long period of therapy initiation, and must be treated with high AC dose (ORs* = 2.67 [81.12-5.91], p = 0.013; ORs* = 8.76 [1.07-76.26], p = 0.019; ORs* = 3.12 [1.01-9.63], p = 0.047; and ORs* = 3.96 [1.41-11.09], p = 0.009, respectively). A final multivariate regression model explained 48.1% of the global interindividual variability in AC dose requirement. CONCLUSION The PA demonstrated that VKORC1 and CYP2C9 polymorphisms contribution was more important than clinical factors. Applying the PA would allow dose adjustment to treat patients in a personalized manner.

Abstract
The recent emergence of 'non-VKA' oral anticoagulants may have led to some forgetting that vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are by far the most widely prescribed oral anticoagulants worldwide. Consequently, we decided to summarize the information available on them. This paper presents the problems facing emergency physicians confronted with patients on VKAs in 10 points, from pharmacological data to emergency management. Vitamin K antagonists remain preferable in many situations including in the elderly, in patients with extreme body weights, severe chronic kidney or liver disease or valvular heart disease, and in patients taking VKAs with well-controlled international normalized ratios (INRs). Given the way VKAs work, a stable anticoagulant state can only be achieved at the earliest 5 days after starting therapy. The induction phase of VKA treatment is associated with the highest risk of bleeding; validated algorithms based on INR values have to be followed. VKA asymptomatic overdoses and 'non-severe' hemorrhage are managed by omitting a dose or stopping treatment plus administering vitamin K depending on the INR. Major bleeding is managed using a VKA reversal strategy. A prothrombin complex concentrate infusion plus vitamin K is preferred to rapidly achieve an INR of up to 1.5 and maintain a normal coagulation profile. The INR must be measured 30 min after the infusion. Before an invasive procedure, if an INR of less than 1.5 (<1.3 in neurosurgery) is required, it can be achieved by combining prothrombin complex concentrate and vitamin K. A well-codified strategy is essential for managing patients requiring emergency invasive procedures or presenting bleeding complications.

Abstract
CYP2C9 is the most abundant CYP2C subfamily enzyme in human liver and the most important contributor from this subfamily to drug metabolism. Polymorphisms resulting in decreased enzyme activity are common in the CYP2C9 gene and this, combined with narrow therapeutic indices for several key drug substrates, results in some important issues relating to drug safety and efficacy. CYP2C9 substrate selectivity is detailed and, based on crystal structures for the enzyme, we describe how CYP2C9 catalyzes these reactions. Factors relevant to clinical response to CYP2C9 substrates including inhibition, induction and genetic polymorphism are discussed in detail. In particular, we consider the issue of ethnic variation in pattern and frequency of genetic polymorphisms and clinical implications. Warfarin is the most well studied CYP2C9 substrate; recent work on use of dosing algorithms that include CYP2C9 genotype to improve patient safety during initiation of warfarin dosing are reviewed and prospects for their clinical implementation considered. Finally, we discuss a novel approach to cataloging the functional capabilities of rare 'variants of uncertain significance', which are increasingly detected as more exome and genome sequencing of diverse populations is conducted.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to investigate the contribution of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 to acenocoumarol (AC) dose variability, bleeding events in Hungary. The study recruited 117 patients on long-term AC therapy (INR 2-3), and 510 healthy individuals to model the findings. Patients were genotyped for alleles proved to affect lower AC overdose CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, VKORC1*2. Additionally, we tested VKORC1*3, VKORC1*4 to examine their effect in patients with higher AC requirements. Most impact on dose reduction is accountable for CYP2C9*2/*3 (59%) and for VKORC1*2/*2 (45.5%), and on dose increase for newly evaluated VKORC1*3/*4 (22.5%) diplotypes. VKORC1*3 and *4 alleles seem to balance the dose-reducing effect of VKORC1*2 allele. Being a carrier of combination of VKORC1*2 and CYP2C9*2,*3 polymorphisms, rather than of one of these SNPs, is associated with higher risk of over-anticoagulation (up to 34.3%) in long-term AC treatment. The pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm involving VKORC1, CYP2C9 diplotypes and age explains 30.4% of AC dosing variability (p<6.10×10-9). Correlation between the studied diplotypes and bleeding events could not be revealed.

Abstract
SummaryAcenocoumarol is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant drug for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous and arterial thromboembolic disorders in several countries. In counterpart of warfarin, there is scarce information about pharmacogenetic algorithms for steady acenocoumarol dose estimation. The aim of this study was to develop an algorithm of prediction for acenocoumarol.The algorithm was created using the data from 973 retrospectively selected anticoagulated patients and was validated in a second independent cohort adding up to 2,683 patients. The best regression model to predict stable dosage in the Primary Cohort included clinical factors (age and body mass index, BSA) and genetic variants (VKORC1, CYP2C9* and CYP4F2 polymorphisms) and explained up to 50% of stable dose. In the validation study the clinical algorithm yielded an adjusted R2=0.15 (estimation´s standard error=4.5) and the genetic approach improved the dose forecast up to 30% (estimation´s standard error=4.6). Again, the best model combined clinical and genetic factors (R2= 0.48; estimation´s standard error=4) which provided the best results of doses estimates within 20% of the real dose in patients taking lower (≤7mg/week) or higher (≥25mg/week) acenocoumarol doses. In conclusion, we developed a prediction algorithm using clinical data and three polymorphisms in VKORC1, CYP2C9* and CYP4F2 genes that provided a steady acenocoumarol dose for about 50% of patients in the Validation Cohort. Such algorithm was especially useful to patients who need higher or lower acenocoumarol doses, those patients with higher time required until their stabilisation and are more prone to suffer a treatment derived complication.

Abstract
SummaryA few trials so far have evaluated the effectiveness of algorithms designed to calculate doses in oral anticoagulant therapy, with negative or contradictory results. We compared a genotype-guided algorithm vs physician management for the initiation of acenocoumarol. In a twoarm, prospective, randomised study with patients with atrial fibrillation who started therapy, the first dose was administered to all patients according to the physician’s criteria. At 72 hours, the corresponding dose was calculated based on INR in the standard care group (SC, N=92), whereas genetic data (VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2) were also considered for the genotype-guided dosing (pharmacogenetic) group (PGx, N=87) by using an algorithm previously validated in 2,683 patients. The primary outcomes were: patients with steady dose, the time needed to reach the same and the percentage of therapeutic INRs. After 90 days, 25 % of the SC and 39 % of the PGx patients reached the steady dose (p=0.038). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that PGx group needed fewer days to reach therapeutic INR (p=0.033). Additionally, PGx had a higher percentage of therapeutic INRs than SC patients (50 % and 45 %, respectively) (p=0.046). After six months the proportion of steadily anticoagulated patients remained significantly higher in PGx (p=0.010). In conclusion, genotype-guided dosing was associated with a higher percentage of patients with steady dose than routine practice when starting oral anticoagulation with acenocoumarol.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the influence of two variants of P450 oxidoreductase (POR), rs2868177 and POR*28, on the stable dosage of acenocoumarol. PATIENTS & METHODS For this observational, cross-sectional study, patients were undergone stable anticoagulant treatment with acenocoumarol. Univariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to assess the influence of POR polymorphisms. RESULTS About 340 patients were enrolled. Multiple regression had a coefficient of determination (R2) of 51.5% and an Akaike information criterion of 234.22. The inclusion of POR*28 polymorphisms increased the R2 to 52.0% and reduced the Akaike information criteria to 230.58. The POR*28 heterozygote showed statistical significance in the algorithm. CONCLUSION The POR*28 heterozygote appears to be associated with the stable dose of acenocoumarol, but its clinical contribution to the prediction of the dosing of this drug is minimal.

Abstract
Essentials Prospective studies of pharmacogenetic-guided (PG) coumarin dosing produced varying results. EU-PACT acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon trials compared PG and non-PG dosing algorithms. Sub-analysis of EU-PACT identified differences between trial arms across VKORC1-CYP2C9 groups. Adjustment of the PG algorithm might lead to a higher benefit of genotyping. SUMMARY Background The multicenter, single-blind, randomized EU-PACT trial compared the safety and efficacy of genotype-guided and non-genetic dosing algorithms for acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon in patients with atrial fibrillation or deep vein thrombosis. The trial showed no differences in the primary outcome between the two dosing strategies. Objectives To explore possible reasons for the lack of differences between trial arms by performing a secondary analysis of EU-PACT data in order to evaluate the performance of both dosing algorithms across VKORC1-CYP2C9 genetic subgroups. Patients/Methods Anticoagulation control measured according to an International Normalized Ratio (INR) below (INR of < 2), within (INR of 2-3) and above (INR of > 3) the therapeutic range was compared across VKORC1-CYP2C9 subgroups. Owing to a low number of patients in each subgroup, trials for acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon were combined for analysis. Results Four weeks after therapy initiation, genotype-guided dosing increased the mean percentage of time in the therapeutic INR range (PTIR) in the VKORC1 GG-CYP2C9*1*1 subgroup as compared with the non-genetic dosing (difference of 14.68%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.38-23.98). For the VKORC1 AA-CYP2C9*1*1 subgroup, there was a higher risk of under-anticoagulation with the genotype-guided algorithm (difference of 19.9%; 95% CI 11.6-28.2). Twelve weeks after therapy initiation, no statistically significant differences in anticoagulation control between trial arms were noted across the VKORC1-CYP2C9 genetic subgroups. Conclusions EU-PACT genetic-guided dose initiation algorithms for acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon could have predicted the dose overcautiously in the VKORC1 AA-CYP2C9*1*1 subgroup. Adjustment of the genotype-guided algorithm could lead to a higher benefit of genotyping.

Abstract
Essentials The EU-PACT trial was used to investigate age on the interaction between coumarins and genotype. The results support the use of genotype-guided dosing for phenprocoumon in patients < 75 years. For patients ≥ 75 years the phenprocoumon algorithm should be revised and further tested. No influence of comorbidities and co-current drug use was found that could explain the differences. SUMMARY Background Age seemed to affect the interaction between coumarins and genotype in the acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon arm of the European Pharmacogenetics of Anticoagulant Therapy (EU-PACT) trial. Objectives To investigate the effect of genotype-guided dosing stratified by age and the potential factors causing a difference. Patients/Methods Data from the acenocoumarol/phenprocoumon arm of the EU-PACT trial were used. The percentages of time below the therapeutic range, time above the therapeutic range and time in the therapeutic range (TTR) during the initial 12 weeks of therapy were compared between the genotype-guided group and the control group among younger (< 75 years) and older (≥ 75 years) patients by the use of independent t-tests, and adjusted for sex, height, weight and co-medications by the use of linear regression. Results Among younger phenprocoumon users, TTR during the first 12 weeks in the genotype-guided group (n = 55) was 9.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3 to 17.8) higher than in the control group (n = 63), with a remarkably lower percentage of time above this range (difference: - 9.6%, 95% CI - 19.0 to - 0.2) and a similar time below this range. Older patients dosed by the genotype-guided algorithm (n = 24) spent more time above the range (difference: 27.5%, 95% CI 12.9 to 42.0). For acenocoumarol users, there were no significant differences between the genotype-guided and control groups for most outcomes, except for a lower percentage of time below the range among older patients. Conclusions The genotype-guided algorithm for phenprocoumon in the EU-PACT trial benefitted younger patients more, but for older patients the algorithm needs to be revised and tested in further research.

Abstract
Aim: To generate and validate a pharmacogenomic-guided (PG) dosing algorithm for acenocoumarol in the Greek population. To compare its performance with other PG algorithms developed for the Greek population. Patients & methods: A total of 140 Greek patients participants of the EU-PACT trial for acenocoumarol, a randomized clinical trial that prospectively compared the effect of a PG dosing algorithm with a clinical dosing algorithm on the percentage of time within INR therapeutic range, who reached acenocoumarol stable dose were included in the study. Results: CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes, age and weight affected acenocoumarol dose and predicted 53.9% of its variability. EU-PACT PG algorithm overestimated acenocoumarol dose across all different CYP2C9/VKORC1 functional phenotype bins (predicted dose vs stable dose in normal responders 2.31 vs 2.00 mg/day, p = 0.028, in sensitive responders 1.72 vs 1.50 mg/day, p = 0.003, in highly sensitive responders 1.39 vs 1.00 mg/day, p = 0.029). The PG algorithm previously developed for the Greek population overestimated the dose in normal responders (2.51 vs 2.00 mg/day, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Ethnic-specific dosing algorithm is suggested for better prediction of acenocoumarol dosage requirements in patients of Greek origin.

Abstract
Vitamin K antagonists are highly effective antithrombotic drugs. However, appropriate dosing is difficult to establish owing to its narrow therapeutic window as well as widespread inter- and intra-individual variability in dosage. Compared with dosing solely based on clinical information, pharmacogenetics can help improve the therapy with coumarins by decreasing the time to reach a stable dose and reducing the risk of bleeding. Most of the studies about genotyping of patients using vitamin K antagonists have focused on predicting the stable dose. Two genes have been shown to have the most influence on dosing: VKORC1 and CYP2C9. Furthermore, genotyping of more genes, such as CYP4F2 and APOE, is also being included in some dosing algorithms. The role of genotype beyond the initial dose-titration phase is less clear. Thus, a proven genetically determined risk of unstable dose or bleeding could help with the selection of patients who require more frequent monitoring of dose. On the other hand, patients who have a genetically determined stable dose could self-monitor their international normalized ratio (INR), making the therapy less expensive and more convenient.

Abstract
Background Time in therapeutic range (TTR) is a measurement of quality of warfarin therapy and lower TTR values (<50%) are associated with greater risk of thromboembolic and bleeding events. Recently, we developed a pharmacogenetic-based warfarin dosing algorithm specifically calibrated for a Brazilian patient sample. The aims of this study are: to evaluate the impact of a genetic-based algorithm, compared to traditional anticoagulation, in the time to achieve the therapeutic target and in TTR percentage; and to assess the cost-effectiveness of genotype-guided warfarin dosing in a specific cohort of patients with low TTR (<50%) from a tertiary cardiovascular hospital. Methods/design This study is a randomized controlled trial in patients (n = 300) with atrial fibrillation with TTR < 50%, based on the last three INR values. At the first consultation, patients will be randomized into two groups: TA group (traditional anticoagulation) and PA group (pharmacogenetic anticoagulation). For the first group, the physician will adjust the dose according to current INR value and, for the second group, a pharmacogenetic algorithm will be used. At the second, third, fourth and fifth consultations (with an interval of 7 days each) INR will be measured and, if necessary, the dose will be adjusted based on guidelines. Afterwards, patients who are INR stable will begin measuring their INR in 30 day intervals; if the patient’s INR is not stable, the patient will return in 7 days for a new measurement of the INR. Outcomes measures will include the time to achieve the therapeutic target and the percentage of TTR at 4 and 12 weeks. In addition, as a secondary end-point, pharmacoeconomic analysis will be carried out. Ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee for Medical Research on Human Beings of the Clinical Hospital of the University of São Paulo Medical School. Discussion This randomized study will include patients with low TTR and it will evaluate whether a population-specific genetic algorithm might be more effective than traditional anticoagulation for a selected group of poorly anticoagulated patients.

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
There is a strong association between genetic polymorphisms and the acenocoumarol dosage requirements. Genotyping the polymorphisms involved in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of acenocoumarol before starting anticoagulant therapy would result in a better quality of life and a more efficient use of healthcare resources. The objective of this study is to develop a new algorithm that includes clinical and genetic variables to predict the most appropriate acenocoumarol dosage for stable anticoagulation in a wide range of patients. We recruited 685 patients from 2 Spanish hospitals and 1 primary healthcare center. We randomly chose 80% of the patients (n = 556), considering an equitable distribution of genotypes to form the generation cohort. The remaining 20% (n = 129) formed the validation cohort. Multiple linear regression was used to generate the algorithm using the acenocoumarol stable dosage as the dependent variable and the clinical and genotypic variables as the independent variables. The variables included in the algorithm were age, weight, amiodarone use, enzyme inducer status, international normalized ratio target range and the presence of CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853), CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910), VKORC1 (rs9923231) and CYP4F2 (rs2108622). The coefficient of determination (R2) explained by the algorithm was 52.8% in the generation cohort and 64% in the validation cohort. The following R2 values were evaluated by pathology: atrial fibrillation, 57.4%; valve replacement, 56.3%; and venous thromboembolic disease, 51.5%. When the patients were classified into 3 dosage groups according to the stable dosage (<11 mg/week, 11-21 mg/week, >21 mg/week), the percentage of correctly classified patients was higher in the intermediate group, whereas differences between pharmacogenetic and clinical algorithms increased in the extreme dosage groups. Our algorithm could improve acenocoumarol dosage selection for patients who will begin treatment with this drug, especially in extreme-dosage patients. The predictability of the pharmacogenetic algorithm did not vary significantly between diseases.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the cost-effectiveness of a pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm versus a clinical dosing algorithm for coumarin anticoagulants in The Netherlands. MATERIALS & METHODS A decision-analytic Markov model was used to analyze the cost-effectiveness of pharmacogenetic dosing of phenprocoumon and acenocoumarol versus clinical dosing. RESULTS Pharmacogenetic dosing increased costs by €33 and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) by 0.001. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were €28,349 and €24,427 per QALY gained for phenprocoumon and acenocoumarol, respectively. At a willingness-to-pay threshold of €20,000 per QALY, the pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm was not likely to be cost effective compared with the clinical dosing algorithm. CONCLUSION Pharmacogenetic dosing improves health only slightly when compared with clinical dosing. However, availability of low-cost genotyping would make it a cost-effective option.

Acenocoumarol Pharmacogenetic Dosing Algorithms and Their Application in Two Bulgarian Patients with Low Anticoagulant Requirements. Biochem Genet 2015; 53:334-50.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anticoagulant therapy with acenocoumarol is generally associated with a high risk of bleeding and thromboembolic events. PURPOSE We applied eight already existing acenocoumarol dosing algorithms to Bulgarian patients with low acenocoumarol dose requirements and investigated which of these algorithms would predict most precisely the dose anticoagulant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two patients with Bulgarian origin were referred to the outpatient clinical laboratory of "St. Ekaterina" University Hospital for Cardiovascular Surgery and Cardiology, Sofia, Bulgaria. After obtaining written informed consent, both patients were genotyped for polymorphisms in genes for Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), Apolipoprotein E (APOE), and Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2). RESULTS All applied acenocoumarol dosing algorithms predicted relatively similar doses of coumarin anticoagulant in both patients. However, van Schie et al.'s algorithm allowed more accurate calculation of the optimal dose in our patients with extremely low acenocoumarol requirements. Genotyping of selected polymorphic variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 showed that both patients were compound heterozygotes for CYP2C9 (CYP2C9*2/*3) and homozygotes for both variants in VKORC1 (VKORC1 1173 T/T, and VKORC1-1639 A/A). This combination of genotypes suggested high sensitivity to acenocoumarol leading to the low anticoagulant dose requirements (0.25 and 1 mg/day, respectively) needed to reach the target International Normalized Ratio of 2.5-3.5. CONCLUSIONS The genotyping of polymorphic variants in VKORC1 and CYP2C9, together with clinical and demographic parameters, can serve for more precise definition of the individual starting and maintenance doses of coumarin derivatives in each patient.

Comparison of Nine Statistical Model Based Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Dosing Algorithms Using the Racially Diverse International Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Consortium Cohort Database.

[PMID: 26305568 PMCID: PMC4549222 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0135784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2014] [Accepted: 07/27/2015] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Multiple linear regression (MLR) and machine learning techniques in pharmacogenetic algorithm-based warfarin dosing have been reported. However, performances of these algorithms in racially diverse group have never been objectively evaluated and compared. In this literature-based study, we compared the performances of eight machine learning techniques with those of MLR in a large, racially-diverse cohort. Methods MLR, artificial neural network (ANN), regression tree (RT), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), boosted regression tree (BRT), support vector regression (SVR), random forest regression (RFR), lasso regression (LAR) and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) were applied in warfarin dose algorithms in a cohort from the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium database. Covariates obtained by stepwise regression from 80% of randomly selected patients were used to develop algorithms. To compare the performances of these algorithms, the mean percentage of patients whose predicted dose fell within 20% of the actual dose (mean percentage within 20%) and the mean absolute error (MAE) were calculated in the remaining 20% of patients. The performances of these techniques in different races, as well as the dose ranges of therapeutic warfarin were compared. Robust results were obtained after 100 rounds of resampling. Results BART, MARS and SVR were statistically indistinguishable and significantly out performed all the other approaches in the whole cohort (MAE: 8.84–8.96 mg/week, mean percentage within 20%: 45.88%–46.35%). In the White population, MARS and BART showed higher mean percentage within 20% and lower mean MAE than those of MLR (all p values < 0.05). In the Asian population, SVR, BART, MARS and LAR performed the same as MLR. MLR and LAR optimally performed among the Black population. When patients were grouped in terms of warfarin dose range, all machine learning techniques except ANN and LAR showed significantly higher mean percentage within 20%, and lower MAE (all p values < 0.05) than MLR in the low- and high- dose ranges. Conclusion Overall, machine learning-based techniques, BART, MARS and SVR performed superior than MLR in warfarin pharmacogenetic dosing. Differences of algorithms’ performances exist among the races. Moreover, machine learning-based algorithms tended to perform better in the low- and high- dose ranges than MLR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acenocoumarol (ACN) has a narrow therapeutic range that is especially difficult to control at the start of its administration. Various dosing pharmacogenetic-guided dosing algorithms have been developed, but further work on their external validation is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extrapolation of pharmacogenetic algorithms for ACN as an alternative to the development of a specific algorithm for a given population. MATERIAL AND METHODS The predictive performance, deviation, accuracy, and clinical significance of five pharmacogenetic algorithms (EU-PACT, Borobia, Rathore, Markatos, Krishna Kumar) were compared in 189 stable ACN patients representing all indications for anticoagulant treatment. RESULTS The correlation between the dose predictions of the five pharmacogenetic models ranged from 7.7 to 70.6% and the percentage of patients with a correct prediction (deviation ≤20% from actual ACN dose) ranged from 5.9 to 40.7%. EU-PACT and Borobia pharmacogenetic dosing algorithms were the most accurate in our setting and evidenced the best clinical performance. CONCLUSIONS Among the five models studied, the EU-PACT and Borobia pharmacogenetic dosing algorithms demonstrated the best potential for extrapolation.

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

Abstract
Coumarin derivatives, such as warfarin, acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon are frequently prescribed oral anticoagulants to treat and prevent thromboembolism. Because there is a large inter-individual and intra-individual variability in dose-response and a small therapeutic window, treatment with coumarin derivatives is challenging. Certain polymorphisms in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 are associated with lower dose requirements and a higher risk of bleeding. In this review we describe the use of different coumarin derivatives, pharmacokinetic characteristics of these drugs and differences amongst the coumarins. We also describe the current clinical challenges and the role of pharmacogenetic factors. These genetic factors are used to develop dosing algorithms and can be used to predict the right coumarin dose. The effectiveness of this new dosing strategy is currently being investigated in clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coumarin vitamin K antagonists are the mainstay of anticoagulant therapy in atrial fibrillation, prosthetic heart valves and thromboembolic conditions. Concerns with these drugs include large inter-individual variability in dose requirements, narrow therapeutic index and need to monitor prothrombin time repeatedly. AREAS COVERED Pharmacogenetic studies and dosing algorithms for warfarin and phenprocoumon. EXPERT OPINION Gene candidate studies in Brazilian patients verified consistently the association of warfarin and pheprocoumon stable dose requirements with CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms, and minor or no influence of other pharmacogenes (e.g., CYP4F2 and F7). The predictive power of warfarin and phenprocoumon dosing algorithms developed for Brazilians compares favorably with those reported for other populations. A warfarin dosing algorithm derived for an admixed cohort performed equally well in self-reported White and Black patients, in marked contrast with the considerably poorer performance of other warfarin algorithms in patients of African descent compared to those of European ancestry. This discrepancy is ascribed to the extensive European/African admixture among Brazilians. Prospective studies of clinical utility of coumarin dosing algorithms, in the context of the Brazilian Public Health System, would represent an important counterpart to recently published trials in European and North American cohorts with predominant or exclusive European ancestry.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify the effect of CYP2C9-VKORC1 interaction on warfarin dosage requirement and its predictive algorithm by investigating four populations. Generalized linear model was used to evaluate the relationship between the interaction and warfarin stable dosage (WSD), whereas multiple linear regression analysis was applied to construct the WSD predictive algorithm. To evaluate the effect of CYP2C9-VKORC1 interaction on the predictive algorithms, we compared the algorithms with and without the interaction. The interaction was significantly associated with WSD in the Chinese and White cohorts (P values < 0.05). In the algorithms that considered the interaction, the predictive success rates improved by only 0.12% in the Chinese patients and by a maximum of 0.02% in the White patients under four different CYP2C9 classifications. Thus, VKORC1-CYP2C9 interaction can affect WSD. However, the discrepancy between the predictive results obtained using the predictive algorithm with and without CYP2C9-VKORC1 interaction was negligible and can therefore be disregarded.

Abstract
Interindividual variations in dose requirements of oral vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are attributed to several factors, including genetic variant alleles of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), but also interaction with co-medications. In this context, proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-related alterations of VKA maintenance dose requirements have been published. The present investigation aimed to test for an interaction profile of oral VKA-therapy and PPIs in relation to the CYP2C9 genotype. Median weekly stable VKA dose requirements over 1 year were recorded in 69 patients. Patients were genotyped for CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, VKORC1c.-1639G>A and VKORC1c.174-136C>T and assessed for an association with PPI use and total VKA maintenance dose requirements. PPI users with CYP2C9 genetic variations required significantly lower weekly VKA maintenance doses than those with the wild-type genotype (t-test: P = 0·02). In contrast, in subjects without PPI use, the CYP2C9 genotype had no significant influence on oral VKA dose requirements. Further, the combined CYP2C9/VKORC1 genotype was a significant predictor for VKA dose requirements [linear regression: estimate: -1·47, standard error: 0·58 (P = 0·01)]. In conclusion, in carriers of CYP2C9 gene variations, the interference with the VKA metabolism is modified by PPI co-medication and the VCKORC1 genotype. Preceding knowledge of the genetic profile and the awareness for potentially occurring severe over-anticoagulation problems under PPI co-medication could contribute to a safer and personalized VKA pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A recently developed multiparameter computer-aided expert system (TheMa) for guiding anticoagulation with phenprocoumon (PPC) was validated by a prospective investigation in 22 patients. The PPC-INR-response curve resulting from physician guided dosage was compared to INR values calculated by "twin calculation" from TheMa recommended dosage. Additionally, TheMa was used to predict the optimal time to perform surgery or invasive procedures after interruption of anticogulation therapy. RESULTS Comparison of physician and TheMa guided anticoagulation showed almost identical accuracy by three quantitative measures: Polygon integration method (area around INR target) 616.17 vs. 607.86, INR hits in the target range 166 vs. 161, and TTR (time in therapeutic range) 63.91 vs. 62.40 %. After discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy, calculating the INR phase-out curve with TheMa INR prognosis of 1.8 was possible with a standard deviation of 0.50 ± 0.59 days. CONCLUSION Guiding anticoagulation with TheMa was as accurate as Physician guided therapy. After interruption of anticoagulant therapy, TheMa may be used for calculating the optimal time performing operations or initiating bridging therapy.

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

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current medical practice takes into account information based on population studies and benefits observed in large populations or cohorts. However, individual patients present great differences in both toxicity and clinical efficacy that can be explained by variations in adherence, unknown drug to drug interactions and genetic variability. The latter seems to explain from 20% up to 95% of patient to patient variability. Treating patients with cardiovascular disorders faces the clinician with the challenge to include genomic analysis into daily practice. There are several examples within cardiovascular disease of treatments that can vary in toxicity or clinical usefulness based on genetic changes. One of the main factors affecting the efficacy of Clopidogrel is the phenotype associated with polymorphisms in the gene CYP 2C9. Furthermore, regarding oral anticoagulants, changes in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 play an important role in changing the clinical response to anticoagulation. When analyzing statin treatment, one of their main toxicities (myopathy) can be predicted by the SLCO1B1 polymorphism. The potential for prediction of toxicity and clinical efficacy from the use of genetic analysis warrants further studies aiming towards its inclusion in daily clinical practice.

CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, ABCB1 and F5 variants: influence on quality of long-term anticoagulation. Pharmacol Rep 2014; 66:243-9. [PMID: 24911077 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharep.2013.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2013] [Revised: 08/19/2013] [Accepted: 09/06/2013] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The study aims to evaluate the impact of genetic, demographic and clinical data on various measures of outcome of anticoagulation quality in patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study consisted of 310 patients receiving long-term oral anticoagulation therapy in our hospital. Apart from demographic and clinical variables, 21 SNPs (in 7 genes) were analyzed and compared with the outcomes of anticoagulation therapy. Various outcomes that were measured are; supra therapeutic INRs (INR >3, >6), anticoagulation stabilization, time taken to stabilize and proportion of INRs within (2-3), above (>3) and below (<2) therapeutic range. RESULTS Supra therapeutic INRs were influenced by CYP2C9*2, *3, CYP4F2 rs2108622, VKORC1-1639G>A, 1173C>T, rs55894764 along with concomitant drugs, smoking, body weight and height. Persistently fluctuating INRs/absolute instability correlated with VKORC1-1639G>A, gender, height and body mass index. The time taken to stabilize was associated with CYP4F2 rs2108622, CYP2C9*14, smoking, clinical indication and concomitant drugs. The overall distribution of INR was influenced by variants in CYP4F2 rs2108622, CYP2C9*3, rs9332230, VKORC1 1173C>T, -1639G>A, rs55894764, ABCB1 rs2032582, rs1128503, rs1045642 and F5 rs6025, age, smoking and concomitant drugs. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge of factors influencing the quality of long term anticoagulation can help clinicians to customize therapy either by dose variation, therapy with alternate choice of drug, concurrent heparin therapy and/or frequent INR monitoring.

Abstract
Oral anticoagulants are a mainstay of cardiovascular therapy, and for over 60 years vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) were the only available agents for long-term use. VKAs interfere with the cyclic inter-conversion of vitamin K and its 2,3 epoxide, thus inhibiting γ-carboxylation of glutamate residues at the amino-termini of vitamin K-dependent proteins, including the coagulation factors (F) II (prothrombin), VII, IX and X, as well as of the anticoagulant proteins C, S and Z. The overall effect of such interference is a dose-dependent anticoagulant effect, which has been therapeutically exploited in heart disease since the early 1950s. In this position paper, we review the mechanisms of action, pharmacological properties and side effects of VKAs, which are used in the management of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease (where their use is limited), stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, heart valves and/or chronic heart failure. Using an evidence-based approach, we describe the results of completed clinical trials, highlight areas of uncertainty, and recommend therapeutic options for specific disorders. Although VKAs are being increasingly replaced in most patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation by the new oral anticoagulants, which target either thrombin or FXa, the VKAs remain the agents of choice for patients with atrial fibrillation in the setting of rheumatic valvular disease and for those with mechanical heart valves.
