aSome of the tables included in the guideline may have been updated on-line, particularly to reflect newly described or newly characterized alleles. These include the gene-specific information tables (https://www.pharmgkb.org/page/pgxGeneRef) that support CPIC guidelines by providing information regarding star (*) allele definitions, allele function, allele frequency by major ethnic groups, translations of diplotype to phenotype, and gene resource mappings.

bBecause this guideline’s recommendations are based on genotype and not phenotype, the diplotype-phenotype tables were not created for these genes.

November 2013 update to 2011 guideline:
CPIC guideline authors are aware of several recently published studies on warfarin pharmacogenetics [Articles:24251361, 24251363, 24251360]. These papers have prompted several opinion pieces [Articles:24328463, 24251364]. The authors are evaluating the information, which will be incorporated into the next update of the CPIC guideline on warfarin.
