A member asked:

While searching for adjusting warfarin dose for my 62yo mom http://www.warfarindosing.org/ says genotyping 7 loci. given the cost, recommended still?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Not unless you're having a tough time becoming therapeutic on coumadin, (warfarin) this isn't required. Speak with your physician who really should be the one to make adjustments to Coumadin (warfarin) dose and checking the inr.
