Abstract excerpt
The vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1) is a key enzyme in the vitamin K cycle impacting various biological processes. VKORC1 genetic variability has been extensively studied in the context of warfarin pharmacogenetics revealing different distributions of VKORC1 haplotypes in various populations. We previously identified the VKORC1 Asp36Tyr mutation that was associated with warfarin resistance and with...
