Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis identifies new risk loci for coronary artery disease

Panos Deloukas, +204 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: An association analysis in CAD cases and controls identifies 15 loci reaching genome-wide significance, taking the number of susceptibility loci for CAD to 46, and a further 104 independent variants strongly associated with CAD at a 5% false discovery rate (FDR).
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of the warfarin dose with clinical and pharmacogenetic data

TL;DR: The use of a pharmacogenetic algorithm for estimating the appropriate initial dose of warfarin produces recommendations that are significantly closer to the required stable therapeutic dose than those derived from a clinical algorithm or a fixed-dose approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study confirms VKORC1, CYP2C9, and CYP4F2 as principal genetic determinants of warfarin dose

TL;DR: The first genome-wide association study (GWAS) whose sample size (1,053 Swedish subjects) is sufficiently powered to detect genome- wide significance (p<1.5×10−7) for polymorphisms that modestly alter therapeutic warfarin dose is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

The largest prospective warfarin-treated cohort supports genetic forecasting.

TL;DR: It is strongly supported that initiation of warfarin guided by pharmacogenetics would improve clinical outcome and predicted individuals predisposed to unstable anticoagulation.
