Abstract
We read with interest the report, recently published by Nahar et al.[1] on the prevalence of warfarin sensitive alleles in factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation carriers. The study provides preliminary evidence for the need of pre‐prescription genotyping of warfarin sensitive polymorphisms (CYP2C9*2, *3 and Vitamin‐K epoxide reductase complex subunit1 [VKORC1]‐1639G/A) in patients who are at risk of thrombosis (carriers of thrombophilic marker) and require anticoagulation therapy.
