Summary What is known and objective Warfarin is a widely used anticoagulant with a narrow therapeutic index. Polymorphisms in the VKORC 1, CYP 2C9 and CYP 4F2 genes have been verified to correlate with warfarin stable dosage ( WSD ). Whether any other genes or variants affect the dosage is unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between GGCX , miR‐133 variants and the WSD in Han Chinese patients with mechanical heart valve replacement ( MHVR ). Methods A total of 231 patients were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were collected for genotyping. The average WSD among subjects with different GGCX or miR‐133 genotypes was compared. Regression analyses were performed to test for any association of genetic polymorphisms with WSD . Results and discussion The warfarin dosage in patients with the GGCX rs699664 TT and rs12714145 TT genotypes was 3.77±0.93 (95% CI : 3.35‐4.19) mg/d and 3.70±1.00 (95% CI : 3.32‐4.09) mg/d, respectively. The GGCX rs699664 and rs12714145 genotypes were significantly associated with WSD ( P <.05). But they were ruled out in the multivariate regression analysis. There were no significant differences in the average warfarin stable dosage between subjects with MIR 133B rs142410335 wild‐type and variant genotypes ( P >.05). What is new and conclusion The genotypes of GGCX rs699644 and rs12714145 were significantly associated with WSD ( P <.05), but their contributions were not significant after accounting for other factors. MIR 133B rs142410335 makes no significant contributions to warfarin stable dosage in Han Chinese patients with MHVR neither in univariate regression nor in multivariate regression analyses.
