An association study of 201 warfarin-treated patients found that polymorphisms in VKORC1, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, PROC, and APOE were significantly associated with warfarin dose requirement (P < 0.000175 for VKORC1 and CYP2C9). A multiple regression model incorporating VKORC1, CYP2C9, PROC, and non-genetic factors (age, bodyweight, drug interactions, treatment indication) accounted for 62% of the variance in warfarin dose.
About CYP2C8
This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and its expression is induced by phenobarbital. The enzyme is known to metabolize many xenobiotics, including the anticonvulsive drug mephenytoin, benzo(a)pyrene, 7-ethyoxycoumarin, and the anti-cancer drug taxol. This gene is located within a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 10q24. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.
