African populations present with a diversity of variants that are important in predicting pharmacogenetics-based warfarin dosing in addition to those reported in CYP2C9 and VKORC1. It is therefore important, to include African populations in pharmacogenomics studies to be able to identify all possible biomarkers that are potential predictors for drug response.
