Circulating Vitamin K1 Levels in Relation to Ischemic Stroke and Its Subtypes: A Mendelian Randomization Study
25 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Vitamin K plays a crucial role in blood coagulation, and hypercoagulability has been linked to atherosclerosis-related vascular disease. We used the Mendelian randomization study design to examine whether circulating vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) levels are associated with ischemic stroke. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with vitamin K1 levels were used as instrumental variables. Summary-level data...
