Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: VKORC1 has been identified some years ago as the gene encoding vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) - the target protein for coumarin derivates like warfarin or phenprocoumon. Resistance against warfarin and other coumarin-type anticoagulants has been frequently reported over the last 50 years in rodents due to problems in pest control as well as in thrombophilic patients showing variable response to...
