Abstract excerpt
VKORC1 genetic polymorphisms affect warfarin dose response, aortic calcification, and the susceptibility of coronary artery disease as shown in our previous study. Little is known regarding the association of VKORC1 polymorphisms with coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the role of CAC in the association with coronary artery disease (CAD). Due to a natural haplotype block in the VKORC1 gene in Chinese,...
