Warfarin is primarily metabolized by cytochrome 2C9, encoded by gene CYP2C9. Here, we investigated whether variants in nuclear receptor genes which regulate the expression of CYP2C9 are associated with warfarin response. We used data from 906 warfarin users from the Quebec Warfarin Cohort (QWC) and tested the association of warfarin dose requirement at 3 months following the initiation of therapy in nine nuclear receptor genes: NR1I3, NR1I2, NR3C1, ESR1, GATA4, RXRA, VDR, CEBPA, and HNF4A.

Project description:ObjectiveWarfarin is a commonly used anticoagulant with a narrow therapeutic range and large interindividual differences in dosing requirements. Previously, studies have identified that the interindividual variability was influenced by varieties of factors, including age, body size, vitamin K intake, interacting medications, as well as genetic variants. We aimed to investigate the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the interindividual variability of warfarin dose requirements in Chinese patients.MethodsThe study population consisted of 300 patients with a stable maintenance dose of warfarin. We examined SNPs in eight genes involving in the biotransformation and mode of action of warfarin (i.e., CYP4F2, CYP2C19, APOE, CALU, EPHX1, PROC, CYP2C9, and GGCX) using the SNaPshot assay.ResultsThe mean daily warfarin dose in patients carrying CYP2C19 rs3814637CC, CYP2C9 rs1057910AA, and GGCX rs699664AA genotype was 3.39, 3.34, and 3.51 mg/day, respectively, which was higher than those carrying CYP2C19 rs3814637TT, CYP2C9 rs1057910CC, and rs699664GG genotype (2.00, 0.81, and 3.09 mg/day, respectively).ConclusionThese findings indicate that individuals carrying the CYP2C19 rs3814637CC or CYP2C9 rs1057910AA or GGCX rs699664AA genotype needed higher warfarin doses in the Chinese population.

Project description:Genotype-based algorithms that include VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes are less predictive of warfarin dose variability in Africans as opposed to Europeans. Polymorphisms in GGCX, FPGS, or STX1B are associated with warfarin dose requirements in African-Americans. We sought to determine if they influenced warfarin dose in European-Americans, and another African population, specifically Egyptians. We genotyped 529 adults (n = 325 European-Americans, 204 Egyptians) on a stable warfarin dose for GGCX rs12714145 and rs10654848, FPGS rs7856096, and STX1B rs4889606. Rs12714145, rs10654848, and rs7856096 were not associated with warfarin dose, whereas STX1B rs4889606 was a significant determinant in univariate analysis (P < 0.0001) in both cohorts. However, STX1B rs4889606 was in high linkage disequilibrium with VKORC1-1639 G>A, and was no longer significant after including VKORC1-1639 G>A in the regression model. Based on these data, the polymorphisms do not appear to influence, in a clinically important way, warfarin dose requirements in European-Americans and Egyptians.

Project description:Over- and undercoagulation with warfarin are associated with hemorrhagic and thromboembolic events, respectively. Genetic and clinical factors affect warfarin response, and the causes of this variability remain unclear. We present descriptive statistics and test for predictors of poor anticoagulation control. The Quebec Warfarin Cohort (QWC) comprises 1059 new warfarin users, with prospective follow-up using telephone questionnaires every 3 months for 1 year, and using healthcare administrative databases (RAMQ and Med-Echo) for 5 years prior to cohort entry and up to 10 years following active patient participation. Genetic material was collected, and genotyping of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes was conducted. Measured outcomes included the percentage of time patients spent within therapeutic range, anticoagulation control, warfarin dose, bleeding, and thromboembolic events. We report baseline characteristics and outcomes after 1 year of follow-up. Poor anticoagulation control was defined as time in therapeutic range <60% in the 3- to 12-month interval. Participants had a mean age of 71 years, and 62% were men. The most common indication for warfarin was atrial fibrillation (87%). Mean time in therapeutic range was 56% (±25%) in the 3 months following warfarin initiation, and 70% (±21%) in the 3- to 12-month interval. During follow-up, the rate of stroke or systemic embolism was 1.8 events per 100 person-years; for major bleeding events, 3.3 events per 100 person-years. Independent predictors of poor anticoagulation control were chronic kidney disease, heart failure, dyslipidemia, and age. The QWC represents a good research cohort to investigate clinical and genetic factors in a warfarin-anticoagulated population.

Project description:The ideal dose of the oral anticoagulant warfarin varies widely among patients, mainly due to genetic factors. Genetic variations that impact warfarin pharmacokinetics and the vitamin K cycle are plausible candidates for being associated with warfarin dose requirements. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess whether polymorphisms in the ABCB1 and CYP4F2 genes were associated with stable warfarin dose requirements in Brazilian patients. This retrospective study included samples from 309 individuals. Genotyping of ABCB1 c.3435C>T and CYP4F2 c.1297G>A were performed by polymerase chain reaction followed by melting curve analysis (HRM-PCR) and TaqMan® genotyping assay, respectively. Stable doses were adjusted in a linear multiple regression model for age, gender, body mass index, self-reported race, use of amiodarone, CYP2C9 (*2 and *3), VKORC1 c.1639G>A, and ABCB1 c.3435C>T or CYP4F2 c.1297G>A. By performing a univariate analysis of variance, we found that the warfarin patients who carry ABCB1 c.3435T variant alleles (CT and TT genotypes) need fewer warfarin stable doses in comparison with the individuals that are CC wild-type: 2.5 (p = 0.003) and 4.3 (p < 0.001) mg/week less, respectively, for the overall group of patients on stable anticoagulation therapeutics (n = 309); and 5.5 (p = 0.006) and 10.2 (p < 0.001) mg/week less, respectively, for the self-declared non-white stable subgroup (n = 76). No statistically significant differences in dose requirements were observed according to CYP4F2 genotypes. In conclusion, our results suggest ABCB1 c.3435C>T variant may influence warfarin dose requirements in Brazilian patients, when associated with other genotypic, demographic and clinical factors.

Project description:AimsAlthough genetic, clinical and demographic factors have been shown to explain approximately half of the inter-individual variability in warfarin dose requirement in adults, less is known about causes of dose variability in children. This study aimed to identify and quantify major genetic, clinical and demographic sources of warfarin dose variability in children using modelling and simulation.MethodsClinical, demographic and genetic data from 163 children with a median age of 6.3 years (range 0.06-18.9 years), covering over 183 years of warfarin therapy and 6445 INR observations were used to update and optimize a published adult pharmacometric warfarin model for use in children.ResultsGenotype effects in children were found to be comparable with what has been reported for adults, with CYP2C9 explaining up to a four-fold difference in dose (CYP2C9 *1/*1 vs. *3/*3) and VKORC1 explaining up to a two-fold difference in dose (VKORC1?G/G?vs. A/A), respectively. The relationship between bodyweight and warfarin dose was non-linear, with a three-fold difference in dose for a four-fold difference in bodyweight. In addition, age, baseline and target INR, and time since initiation of therapy, but not CYP4F2 genotype, had a significant impact on typical warfarin dose requirements in children.ConclusionsThe updated model provides quantitative estimates of major clinical, demographic and genetic factors impacting on warfarin dose variability in children. With this new knowledge more individualized dosing regimens can be developed and prospectively evaluated in the pursuit of improving both efficacy and safety of warfarin therapy in children.

Project description:Background and objectiveWarfarin is a commonly used oral anticoagulant with a narrow therapeutic index and various genetic and clinical factors that influence interpatient variability in dose requirements. This study investigated the impact of genetic and nongenetic factors on warfarin dose requirements in Egyptians.MethodsDNA was extracted from 207 patients taking warfarin for more than 2 months and genotyped for VKORC1 (3673 G>A), CYP2C9 *2*3*4*5*8, CYP4F2 (V33M; rs2108622), APOE (rs429358, rs7412), and CALU(rs339097) gene polymorphisms. Linear regression modeling was conducted to identify the genetic and nongenetic factors that independently influence warfarin dose requirements.ResultsVKORC1 3673 AA or GA genotype (P<0.0001), one or two variant alleles of CYP2C9 gene (P=0.0004), APOE ε2 haplotype (P=0.01), and increasing age (P<0.0001) were all associated with lower warfarin dose, whereas smoking (P=0.025) and pulmonary embolism (P=0.0059) showed association with higher warfarin doses. These factors explained 31% of the warfarin dose variability. This is the first independent confirmation of the association of the CALU rs339097 variant with higher warfarin dose requirement, although inclusion of this single nucleotide polymorphism in the multiple regression model failed to achieve significance (P=0.066). CYP4F2 (V33M) polymorphism was not significant (P=0.314), despite its high frequency in the studied population (42%).ConclusionThe study shows that VKORC1, CYP2C9 polymorphisms, APOE ε2 variant, and several clinical/demographic variables are important determinants of warfarin dose requirements in Egyptian patients. The percentage of variability explained by these factors is lower than in those of European ancestry, but similar to the variability explained in Asians and African ancestry.

Project description:Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic window and high intra- and inter-individual variability. Considering that many published papers on genotype-guided dosing are derived from European populations, the aim of this study was to investigate novel genetic variants associated with the variability of stable warfarin dose in the Korean population with cardiac valve replacement, using the GWAS approach. This retrospective cohort study was performed from January 1982 to December 2020 at the Severance Cardiovascular Hospital of Yonsei University College of Medicine. GWAS was performed to identify associations between genotypes and the warfarin maintenance dose, by comparing the allele frequency of genetic variants between individuals. Then, the extent of genetic and non-genetic factors on the dose variability was determined by multivariable regression analysis. The study enrolled 214 participants, and the most robust signal cluster was detected on chromosome 16 around VKORC1. Followed by VKORC1, three novel variants (NKX2-6 rs310279, FRAS1 rs4386623, and FAM201A rs1890109) showed an association with stable warfarin dose requirement in univariate analysis. The algorithm was constructed by using multivariable analysis that includes genetic and non-genetic factors, and it could explain 58.5% of the variations in stable warfarin doses. In this variability, VKORC1 rs9934438 and FRAS1 rs4386623 accounted for 33.0% and 9.9%, respectively. This GWAS analysis identified the fact that three novel variants (NKX2-6 rs310279, FRAS1 rs4386623, and FAM201A rs1890109) were associated with stable warfarin doses. Additional research is necessary to validate the results and establish personalized treatment strategies for the Korean population.

Project description:The VKORC1 Asp36Tyr single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is one of the most promising predictors of high warfarin dose, but data on its population prevalence is incomplete. We determined the frequency of this SNP in participants from seven countries on four continents and investigated its effect on warfarin dose requirement. One thousand samples were analysed to define the population prevalence of this SNP. Those samples included individuals from Egypt, Ghana, Sudan, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Peru and African Americans from the United States. A total of 206 Egyptian samples were then used to investigate the effect of this SNP on warfarin dose requirements. This SNP was most frequent among Kenyans and Sudanese, with a minor allele frequency (MAF) of 6% followed by Saudi Arabians and Egyptians with a MAF of 3% and 2.5%, respectively. It was not detected in West Africans, based on our data from Ghana, and a large cohort of African Americans. Egyptian carriers of the VKORC1 Tyr36 showed higher warfarin dose requirement (57.1 ± 29.4 mg/week) than those with the Asp36Asp genotype (35.8 ± 16.6 mg/week; p=0.03). In linear regression analysis, this SNP had the greatest effect size among the genetic factors (16.6 mg/week increase in dose per allele), and improved the warfarin dose variability explained in Egyptians (model R2 from 31% to 36.5%). The warfarin resistant VKORC1 Asp36Tyr appears to be confined to north-eastern Africa and nearby Middle-Eastern populations, but in those populations where it is present, it has a significant influence on warfarin dose requirement and the percent of warfarin dose variability that can be explained.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Genome-wide association studies are useful for discovering genotype-phenotype associations but are limited because they require large cohorts to identify a signal, which can be population-specific. Mapping genetic variation to genes improves power and allows the effects of both protein-coding variation as well as variation in expression to be combined into "gene level" effects. METHODS:Previous work has shown that warfarin dose can be predicted using information from genetic variation that affects protein-coding regions. Here, we introduce a method that improves dose prediction by integrating tissue-specific gene expression. In particular, we use drug pathways and expression quantitative trait loci knowledge to impute gene expression-on the assumption that differential expression of key pathway genes may impact dose requirement. We focus on 116 genes from the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways of warfarin within training and validation sets comprising both European and African-descent individuals. RESULTS:We build gene-tissue signatures associated with warfarin dose in a cohort-specific manner and identify a signature of 11 gene-tissue pairs that significantly augments the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium dosage-prediction algorithm in both populations. CONCLUSIONS:Our results demonstrate that imputed expression can improve dose prediction and bridge population-specific compositions.

Project description:What is already known about this subjectRecent studies on pharmacogenetics of warfarin have implicated apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms to influence the vitamin K dependent coagulation cascade and hence the efficacy of warfarin. Studies among Caucasian and African Americans showed a significant but conflicting role of apolipoprotein E (APOE) isoforms in warfarin pharmacogenetics. The contribution of APOE isoforms in influencing variations in warfarin requirements in Asian subjects remains to be investigated.What this study addsThis is the first report of a population study in Asians exploring the role of isoforms encoded by three APOE alleles (epsilon 2, epsilon 3, epsilon 4) in influencing warfarin dose requirements. The present study showed that the APOE epsilon 3/epsilon 3 isoform is the predominant genotype in the Asian population. The study also showed that APOE isoforms may not be important in affecting warfarin pharmacodynamics in Asian patients. It also suggested that the impact of different APOE isoforms depended on the frequency of APOE genotypes in the population, in particular the epsilon 4 allele containing genotypes.AimsTo investigate the influence of APOE genotypes and VKORC1 haplotypes on warfarin dose requirements in Asian patients.MethodsA total of 174 Asian patients (Chinese, n = 96; Malays, n = 50; Indians, n = 28) who had stable daily warfarin doses for at least 1 month were recruited. Following genomic DNA extraction from venous blood, pharmacogenetic analysis of APOE and VKORC1 genes was done by DNA sequencing.ResultsThe majority of the Asian patients (78%) harboured the APOE epsilon 3/epsilon 3 genotype. Different APOE genotypes were found not to have any significant influence on mean daily warfarin dose requirements. Warfarin dose requirements in the pooled Asian patients homozygous for the VKORC1 H1 haplotype were significantly lower compared with patients homozygous for the H7 haplotype (H1-H1 vs. H7-H7: 2.79 +/- 1.06 mg day(-1)vs. 5.45 +/- 2.3 mg day(-1), P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe present study suggests that APOE variants have minimal impact on warfarin dose requirements in Asian patients, probably due to the low frequency of epsilon 4 allele containing genotypes.
