ABSTRACT

Background/aim: Warfarin is a common anticoagulant with large interindividual differences and a narrow therapeutic range. The polymorphisms of gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) are important genetic factors for warfarin dose requirements. Materials and methods: Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing methods were used to detect the GGCX rs699664 genotype in 215 atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with warfarin administration. The effects on warfarin dose by different genotypes were analyzed. A warfarin dosing algorithm was developed based on age, height, CYP2C9, VKORC1, and GGCX genotype. Results: In 215 AF patients, there were 104 cases of wild-type GG genotype (48.4%), 92 cases of GA genotype (42.8%), and 19 cases of AA genotype (8.8%). Patients with the GGCX rs699664 A allele (GA or AA genotypes) needed higher warfarin doses than those with the GG genotype (P < 0.05). A warfarin dosing algorithm showed that age, height, CYP2C9, VKORC1, and GGCX genotype were the best variables for estimating warfarin dose (R2 = 41.2%). Another independent cohort of 60 AF patients showed a significant linear correlation between predicted warfarin maintenance dose and actual dose (R = 0.660, P < 0.01). Conclusion: AF patients with the GA and AA genotypes in GGCX rs699664 required significantly higher warfarin doses. GGCX rs699664 is a potential predictor for the warfarin dose of AF patients.

ABSTRACT

The polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1) are important genetic factors for warfarin dose determinations. The present study aimed to investigate the contribution of the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes to warfarin dose requirement in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, and to evaluate the clinical application of a warfarin-dosing algorithm. A total of 122 AF patients with a target international normalized ratio of 2.0 to 3.0 were included to determine the genotypes of CYP2C9 (rs1057910) and VKORC1 (rs9923231). A warfarin-dosing algorithm was developed based on age, height, and the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes of AF patients. The results indicated that the mean warfarin daily dose requirement was lower in the CYP2C9*1/*3 genotype compared with those in the homozygous wild-type CYP2C9*1/*1 patients (P<0.05), and was higher in patients with the VKORC1 AG and GG genotypes compared with those with the AA genotype (P<0.05). The multivariate regression model showed that age, height, and the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes were the best variables for estimating warfarin dose (R2=56.4%). A new warfarin-dosing algorithm was developed and its validity was confirmed in a second cohort of AF patients. During the 50-day follow-up, 63.3% (19/30) of control group patients and 86.7% (26/30) of patients in the experimental group acquired the warfarin maintenance dose. Among all the patients who acquired the warfarin maintenance dose, the mean time elapse from initiation until warfarin maintenance dose was significantly less in the experimental group (25.8±1.7 day) compared to the control group (33.1±1.9 day) (P<0.05). There was significant linear correlation between predicted warfarin maintenance dose and actual dose (r=0.822, P<0.01). In conclusion, a new warfarin-dosing algorithm was developed based on the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes, and it can shorten the time elapse from initiation until warfarin maintenance dose in AF patients with warfarin therapy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible relationship between vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1) gene polymorphism and warfarin dose requirements in Chinese patients. METHOD: Genotyping for the C1173T polymorphism in the VKORC1 gene was performed using a restriction enzyme digestion of PCR-amplified DNA in 102 Chinese patients treated with warfarin. RESULTS: TT genotype was found in 83 patients (81.4%), CT genotype in 16 patients (15.7%) and CC genotype in 3 patients (2.9%). To achieve similar target INR range (1.5 - 2.5), the warfarin dose requirement was significantly lower in patients with TT genotype than that in patients with CT/CC genotypes (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: C1173T polymorphism in the VKORC1 gene might be one important determinant for warfarin dose requirement in Chinese patients.
