Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) recycles endogenous vitamin K, a cofactor for vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor synthesis. Common polymorphisms in VKORC1, the gene coding for VKORC1, have been found to affect the dose response to vitamin K antagonists, and to confer an increased risk of vascular diseases in a Chinese population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the...
