We determined DNA sequence variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in 16 Chinese patients having warfarin sensitivity (< or = 1.5 mg/day, n = 11) or resistance (> or = 6.0 mg/day, n = 5), 104 randomly selected Chinese patients receiving warfarin, 95 normal Chinese controls and 92 normal Caucasians.

To establish individualized warfarin therapy, we investigated the contribution of genetic variations of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 gene (VKORC1) -1639 G>A and Cytochrome P450 2C9 gene (CYP2C9) and clinical factors on warfarin sensitivity in Japanese patients.
The allelic variants found to most affect warfarin sensitivity are CYP2C9*1*1-VKORC1BB (less warfarin sensitivity than typical); CYP2C9*1*1-VKORC1AA (considerable variance in INR throughout initiation); CYP2C9*1*2-VKORC1AB (more sensitivity to warfarin than typical); CYP2C9*1*3-VKORC1AB (much more sensitivity to warfarin than typical); CYP2C9*1*2-VKORC1AB (much more sensitivity to warfarin than typical); CYP2C9*1*3-VKORC1AA (much more sensitivity to warfarin than typical); and CYP2C9*2*2-VKORC1AB (much more sensitivity to warfarin than typical).

* Although CYP2C9*2 and *3 are important genetic factors for the warfarin dose, one of the CYP2C9 SNPs, IVS-65G>C, has been suggested to be associated with warfarin sensitivity.
To investigate the contribution of genetic polymorphisms of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 gene VKORC1-1639G>A, cytochrome P450 2C9 gene (CYP2C9), EPHXI, and clinical factors to warfarin sensitivity in southwest Chinese Han patients with mechanical heart valve prostheses.

In our study population, no significant correlation could be detected between CYP2C9*3, CYP2C9C-65 (rs9332127), CYP4F2 rs2108622, GGCX rs12714145, EPHX1 rs4653436 and PROC rs1799809 with warfarin sensitivity.

The effects of genetic polymorphisms at the vitamin K epoxide reductase [VKORC1] and cytochrome P450 2C9 [CYP2C9] loci have been increasingly acknowledged as contributory factors of enhanced warfarin sensitivity.

The effects of vitamin K-dependent proteins in bone mineralization and vascular calcification and the implication of vitamin K epoxide reductase gene (VKORC1) 1173C>T polymorphism in warfarin sensitivity are well known.
The 1173T and -1639A allele variants in VKORC1 gene, associated with warfarin sensitivity, were present, as expected, mostly in low dose patients while 3730A allele, linked to warfarin resistance, has been found only in high dose patients.
A cell culture-based, indirect VKOR assay was developed and characterized that accurately reports warfarin sensitivity or resistance for wild-type and variant VKORC1 proteins.
The patients with CYP4F2 variant alleles C/T and T/T scored significantly lower values for the warfarin sensitivity index (INR/Cpss) and had significantly higher plasma concentrations of MK-4 than patients with the CYP4F2 allele C/C.
