*

IC50 values determined by the cell-based assay method as cited in Fregin et al18  used for the present study.

Data from Figures 2 and 3 and supplemental Table 3 of Watzka et al. HDT is defined as the high-dosage threshold and is equivalent to the mean patient population dosage divided by the control group (homozygous wild-type VKORC1 alleles with VKORC1:c.-1639GG haplotype) population mean OAC dosage for each drug, where the patient achieved stable anticoagulation with an international normalized ratio within the range 2.0-3.0. n, number of reported patients with mutation.13 

Results from Hodroge et al, the study assumes that Ki = IC50.17 

§

results calculated from data in Rost et al by methods detailed in Fregin et al.18  ‖patient had cytochrome P450 isoform 2C9*2*3 haplotype, which results in a reduced warfarin dosage requirement to achieve a stable, therapeutic international normalized ratio compared with patients with wild-type cytochrome P450 isoform 2C9*1*1 haplotype.
