BACKGROUND: Major bleeding occurs annually in 1%-3% of patients on vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), despite close monitoring. Genetic variants in proteins involved in VKA response may affect this risk. AIM: To determine the association of genetic variants (cytochrome P450 enzymes 2C9 [CYP2C9] and 4F2 [CYP4F2], gamma-glutamyl carboxylase [GGCX]) with major bleeding in VKA users, separately and combined, including...
