Abstract:Background and Aim:
The marked inter-individual variability in warfarin dose requirement is mainly attributed to the variants of the main target genes across the warfarin pharmacological pathway, i.e. cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2C9, CYP3A4, ABCB1, vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) and epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1). The expression of these genes is primarily regulated by a complex network of nuclear receptors (NR) which are encoded, in turn, by polymorphic genes. Furthermore, microRNA… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
