Population | A/A | A/G | G/G | A | G |
Marshfield warfarin-treated patients (N=491)* | 0.26 | 0.45 | 0.29 | 0.49 | 0.51 |
Acenocoumarol-treated patients (Spanish population) N=20322 | 0.33 | 0.52 | 0.15 | 0.59 | 0.41 |
nSTACS (Spanish population) N=37423 | 0.33 | 0.51 | 0.16 | 0.59 | 0.41 |
HapMap CEU | 0.43 | 0.43 | 0.13 | 0.65 | 0.35 |
Distribution among these populations of patients with requirements for anticoagulation is compared to the HapMap CEU, a Northern European population in Utah more similar to the Marshfield population in ethnic makeup.10 Whereas the two Spanish cohorts of acenocoumarol-exposed subjects exhibit nearly identical genotype frequency distribution, distributions between the Marshfield warfarin cohort and HapMap CEU population are significantly different (P=0.035).
