Challenging Anticoagulation With Warfarin and Heparin Following Mechanical Mitral Valve Replacement in a Patient With Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report Highlighting Diagnostic Difficulties. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Warfarin remains the cornerstone of anticoagulation therapy following mechanical heart valve replacement. However, challenging anticoagulation responses, resistance to warfarin, and even more rarely to both warfarin and heparin pose significant clinical challenges and complicate management strategies.

Systematic Druggable Genome-Wide Analysis Identifies Therapeutic Targets for Aging: A Mendelian Randomization Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Currently, there are no effective drug treatments for aging. Mendelian randomization (MR) has been widely applied to repurpose existing drugs and identify new therapeutic targets. Our aim is to identify aging‐related therapeutic targets and evaluate their potential adverse effects, underlying mechanisms, and actionable ...

VKORC1 Pharmacogenomics Summary [PDF]
The VKORC1 gene encodes the VKORC1 (vitamin K epoxide reductase) protein, which is a key enzyme in the vitamin K cycle [1,2]. VKORC1 is a 163 amino acid integral membrane protein associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and VKORC1 mRNA is broadly expressed in many different tissues [3].

VKORC1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in rodents in Spain
Rodents are considered one of the animal pests with the greatest impact on agricultural production and public health. Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs), used as one of the most effective ways to control rodent populations worldwide, inhibit the vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase (VKORC1) enzyme involved in blood coagulation.

Improving Genotype Imputation in High-Dimensional Pharmacogenomics Using Multiple Imputation: Evaluation with Machine Learning Approaches. [PDF]
Multiple imputation is well‐established for handling missing data, yet its use in high‐dimensional genetic datasets remains limited. Using pharmacokinetic tuberculosis simulations and SNP data (1000 Genomes Project), we compared machine learning (ML) and traditional approaches (e.g., mean imputation and complete‐case analysis) for imputation and ...
