Genotyping. All participants of the Rotterdam Study for whom DNA was available were genotyped<br />

for the ABCB1 C1236T, G2677T/A and C3435T polymorphisms. Genotyping was<br />

done using Taqman allelic discrimination assays on the ABI Prism 7900 HT Sequence detection<br />

system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Ca., USA) on 1 ng of genomic DNA extracted<br />

from leukocytes, as previously reported. 12 . The primer and probe sequences, designed by<br />

Applied Biosystems (Assay-by-Design service) are listed in Table 1. For the tri-allelic variant<br />

G2677T/A , two separate assays were designed, one detecting G2677T and one detecting<br />

G2677A. Haplotypes were estimated using the estimation maximization algorithm and software<br />

as described in the statistical analyses section.<br />

Outcome. All available serum digoxin concentrations of subjects from the study population<br />

were gathered from 3 hospital labora<strong>to</strong>ries and 1 general practitioner’s labora<strong>to</strong>ry serving the<br />

area of the Rotterdam Study. To limit the effect of digoxin dose titration, only the first available<br />

digoxin serum concentration assessment of each subject was used. A potentially <strong>to</strong>xic digoxin<br />

concentration was defined as a serum concentration above the upper limit of the therapeutic<br />

range (i.e., above 2.00 μg/l).<br />
