Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
Descubrimos que un polimorfismo en el promotor del gen VKORCI esta asociado con la sensibilidad a la warfarina. Este polimorfismo puede explicar tanto las diferencias entre individuos como las diferencias entre razas en los requerimientos de dosis de warfarina. Adicionalmente, el polimorfismo tambien esta asociado con la actividad del promotor. Asi, la secuencia o actividad del promotor del gen VKORCI de un sujeto se puede utilizar para predecir cuanta warfarina se debe prescribir para el sujeto. Se proporcionan metodos y composiciones relevantes.
