which race is likely to have 1639AA

A

asian

65
Q

which race is likely to have 1639GG

A

african americans

66
Q

a 1639GG mutation leads to (decreased or increase warfarin resistance) and leads to patients needing a (lower or higher) warfarin

A

INcreased resistance; Higher warfarin dose

67
Q

a 1639AA mutation leads to (decreased or increase warfarin sensitivity) and leads to patients needing a (lower or higher) warfarin

A

increased sensitivity; lower warfarin dose

68
Q

what are the requirements to be genetic tested for warfarin allele mutations?

A

1) pt is warfarin naive
AND
2) genetic test results are available before the 6th dose
AND
3) pt is at high risk of bleeding if INR is elevated
(if ALL 3 - can do genetic warfarin testing)

69

(patients PT/mean normal PT)^ISI

ISI = international sensitivity index
