WASHINGTON — Pharmacogenetics-based warfarin dosing decreased adverse events compared with clinical-based dosing, investigators from the GIFT study reported at the American College of Cardiology ...
The gene-guided dosing strategy of warfarin generally leads to over-dose in patients at doses lower than 2 mg/kg, and only 50% of individual variability in daily stable doses can be explained. In this ...
