Abstract
This work represents an advance in biomedical science because it shows, in a singlecentre study of 210 patients, an association between ABCB1 2677 G>T genetic polymorphism and the maintenance dose requirement of warfarin for patients who have achieved a stable INR. Hence incorporation of this polymorphism to algorithms for dose prediction of warfarin may improve the accuracy of dose prediction.
