Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) is the molecular target of oral anticoagulants. Mutations in VKORC1 cause partial or total coumarin resistance. OBJECTIVES: To identify new VKORC1 oral anticoagulant (OAC) resistance (OACR) mutations and compare the severity of patient phenotypes across different mutations and prescribed OAC drugs. PATIENTS/METHODS: Six hundred and twenty-six...
