Abstract

BACKGROUND Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant for the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disorders. Pharmacogenomics studies have shown that variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes are strongly and consistently associated with warfarin dose variability. METHODOLOGY In this review, we included patients on stable warfarin dose and had the genetics and non-genetics factors associated with mean warfarin dose. We searched PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Google scholar and reference lists of relevant reviews. CONCLUSION Genetic and non-genetic factors affects the dose of warfarin. Genetic factors and Non genetic factors plays a signicant role and that may affects the dose of warfarin
