Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) c.449G>A (*8) is common in African Americans and is associated with decreased warfarin clearance. We examined the effect of promoter region variants inherited with 449G>A on warfarin clearance, dose requirements, and CYP2C9 expression. In an African American cohort, 449G>A was in linkage disequilibrium with c.-1766T>C (r(2) = 0.89) and c.-1188T>C (D' = 1). The combination of the -1766C and 449A alleles with the -1188CC genotype was associated with lower S-warfarin cl ...[more]
