Abstract excerpt
: Mutations in the genes encoding vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) largely contribute to the inter-individual variations in vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) dose requirements. Up to 50% of the dosage variability can be explained by genetic polymorphisms in these genes. We sought to identify the mutations responsible for VKA resistance in a series of Polish...
