Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are difficult to use because of a narrow therapeutic index and of a marked inter- and intra individual variability among patients in the required dosage. Beside well known demographic or environmental factors (advanced age, co-morbid conditions, acute illnesses, concomitant drugs, vitamin K intake), genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified as strongly...
