Abstract: Objective

To screen genetic factors influencing Warfarin initial anticoagulative effect and maintenance dose.

Methods

A total of 212 Chinese Han mechanical heart valve replacement patients were enrolled as initial anticoagulative effect group. △INR4-1 [the difference between international normalized ratio (INR) at the end of observation and initial INR] was used as an index to screen genetic factors during 4 d after their operations. The obtained results were needed to be identified whether they were associated with other endpoint events like overanticoagulation (INR>3 and INR>4) and time to first therapeutic INR in 3 d. In the maintenance dose group, 266 Chinese Han outpatients who had been taking Warfarin for over 3 months were enrolled. Warfarin maintenance dose was defined as the dose that led to the patients' INR within the therapeutic range measured at least 7 d, which was used to screen genetic factors.

Results

In the initial anticoagulative effect group, CYP2C9 (rs1057910), VKORC1 (rs9923231) and VKORC1 (rs2292566) were associated with △INR4-1(P<0.05), and CYP2C9 (rs1057910) and EPHX1(rs2292566) were associated with time to first therapeutic INR (P<0.001, P<0.05). In the maintenance dose group, CYP2C9 (rs1057910) and VKORC1 (rs9923231) were associated with daily and weekly maintenance doses (P<0.05).

Conclusions

CYP2C9 (rs1057910),VKORC1 (rs9923231) and EPHX1 (rs2292566) show strongly association with Warfarin initial anticoagulative effect. CYP2C9 (rs1057910) and VKORC1 (rs9923231) are significant factors for maintenance dose.
