Speculations on vitamin K, VKORC1 genotype and autism.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Nov 2016

DeSoto M C

Abstract excerpt

Humans vary in the gene that encodes for Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex (VKORC1). Recent research has documented the protective effect of Vitamin K on neural cells and its role in maintaining normal neural development. Of interest, specific neural effects of Vitamin K overlap with key brain development aberrations, including those associated with autism. Furthermore, Vitamin K protects against oxidative...
