Targeted next-generation sequencing of genes involved in Warfarin Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics pathways using the Saudi Warfarin Pharmacogenetic study (SWAP).
Article in The pharmacogenomics journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWarfarin is an oral anticoagulant commonly used for treatment and prophylaxis against thromboembolic events. Warfarins's narrow therapeutic index window is one of the main challenges in clinical practice; thus, it requires frequent monitoring and dose adjustment to maintain patients' therapeutic range. Warfarin dose variation and response are attributed to several inter-and intra-individuals factors, including genetic variants in enzymes involved in warfarin pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) pathways. Thus, we aim to utilize the next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach to identify rare and common genetic variants that might be associated with warfarin responsiveness. METHOD AND
resultsA predesigned NGS panel that included 16 genes involved in Warfarin PK/PD pathways was used to sequence 786 patients from the Saudi Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Cohort (SWAP). Identified variants were annotated using several annotation tools to identify the pathogenicity and allele frequencies of these variants. We conducted variants-level association tests with warfarin dose. We identified 710 variants within the sequenced genes; 19% were novel variants, with the vast majority being scarce variants. The genetic association tests showed that VKORC1 (rs9923231, and rs61742245), CYP2C9 (rs98332238, rs9332172, rs1057910, rs9332230, rs1799853, rs1057911, and rs9332119), CYP2C19 (rs28399511, and rs3758581), and CYP2C8 (rs11572080 and rs10509681) were significantly associated with warfarin weekly dose. Our model included genetics, and non-genetic factors explained 40.1% of warfarin dose variation.
conclusionThe study identifies novel variants associated with warfarin dose in the Saudi population. These variants are more likely to be population-specific variants, suggesting that population-specific studies should be conducted before adopting a universal warfarin genotype-guided dosing algorithm.
