VKORC1 haplotypes and their impact on the inter-individual and inter-ethnical variability of oral anticoagulation

Abstract: In order to elucidate the role of VCORC1 sequence variants in warfarin sensitivity, we established a complete SNP map of the VKORC1 gene locus in 200 blood donors from Western Germany. Nearly all of the genetic variability of the VKORC1 gene in Europeans is reflected by three main haplotypes. Recently described polymorphisms associated with low warfarin dose requirement (dbSNP:rs9934438; dbSNP:rs17878363) were found in complete linkage disequilibrium with the VKORC1*2 haplotype. In two patient cohorts of Europ… Show more

“…Con este panorama, a pesar de que el VKORC1 se considera el principal modulador genético de las diferencias étnicas en la reacción a la warfarina, y se conoce su utilidad para explicar la reacción a este medicamento en pacientes con diferentes ancestros (34,35), no debe descartarse la posibilidad de mejorar la predicción teniendo en cuenta aspectos específicos de cada población. Reportes recientes indican que la utilidad de los algoritmos farmacogenéticos podría ser mayor si se logra un mejor control de las variables clínicas.…”

“…The VKORC1 2255CϾT SNP is seen in group A haplotypes, which are associated with increased warfarin sensitivity, as well as in haplotype H4, a less common haplotype for which there is little information on warfarin dose correlation. The 3730 GϾA SNP is associated with group B haplotypes, which have been correlated with higher warfarin doses, 1,5 but it is not included in any of the dosing algorithms. In addition, DNA sequencing demonstrated a novel single nucleotide change in the promoter, VKORC1 Ϫ477 (4835) G/A, which to our knowledge has not been published previously.…”

“…A single common VKORC1 SNP Ϫ1639/3673 AϾG defines VKORC1 haplotypes with increased sensitivity to warfarin (group A haplotypes, H1 and H2). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] CYP2C9 is responsible for metabolism of Ͼ90% of S-warfarin, the more active enantiomer of warfarin. Two common allelic variants of CYP2C9 with reduced enzymatic activity (CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3) have been associated with reduced metabolism of warfarin, lower required doses of warfarin to achieve adequate anticoagulation, and increased risk of adverse events when beginning warfarin therapy.…”
