Warfarin sensitivity testing 
 
 
Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant widely used for the prevention of thrombotic 
events and to treat a confirmed episode of venous thrombosis, with approximately 
2 million new patients each year in the US alone. Although highly effective, 
warfarin's usability is limited by a narrow therapeutic range combined with a 
pronounced interindividual variability in the dose required for adequate 
anticoagulation. Clinical use of warfarin is further complicated by a 
substantial risk for hemorrhagic side effects, which is increased in patients 
with low-dose requirements. Warfarin is the second-most-likely drug, after 
Digoxin, to cause adverse events requiring hospitalization.
