We discovered that a polymorphism in the promoter of the VKORCI gene is associated with warfarin sensitivity. This polymorphism can explain both the interindividual and inter-ethnic differences in warfarin dose requirements. Furthermore, the polymorphism is also associated with promoter activity. Thus, the promoter sequence or activity of the VKORCI gene of a subject can be used to predict how much warfarin should be prescribed for the subject. Relevant methods and compositions are provided.
我们发现,VKORCI
基因启动子上的多态性与
华法林敏感性有关。这种多态性可以解释
华法林剂量需求的个体间和种族间差异。此外,该多态性还与启动子活性有关。因此,受试者 VKORCI
基因的启动子序列或活性可用来预测该受试者应服用多少
华法林。本文提供了相关的方法和组合物。
