Abstract excerpt
γ-Glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) catalyzes the γ-carboxylation of 15 different vitamin K dependent (VKD) proteins. Pathogenic variants in GGCX cause a rare hereditary bleeding disorder called Vitamin K dependent coagulation factor deficiency type 1 (VKCFD1). In addition to bleedings, some VKCFD1 patients develop skin laxity and skeletal dysmorphologies. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these...
