WARFARIN (FARMACOGENETICS)
Warfarin is an anticoagulant commonly used to prevent thrombosis and thromboembolism, the formation of blood clots in blood vessels and their migration elsewhere in the body, respectively.
This test detects single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes crucial for the organism’s sensitivity to this therapy.
Genetic testing for sensitivity to this anticoagulant can reduce the rate of complications of some conditions and possible death with timely, accurate and effective therapy.
