The gene vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1), which encodes a small transmembrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum, is identified, by using linkage information from three species, to be involved in two heritable human diseases.

It is suggested that mutations in VKORC1 are the genetic basis of anticoagulant resistance in wild populations of rodents, although the mutations alone do not explain all aspects of resistance that have been reported.

Empicizumab prophylaxis was associated with a significantly lower rate of bleeding events than no proPHylaxis among participants with hemophilia A with inhibitors and resulted in a bleeding rate that was significantly lower by 79% than the rate with previous bypassing‐agent prophylum.

Observations suggest VKORC1 as principal genetic modulator of the ethnic differences in warfarin response and hereditary pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic factors account for up to 50% of the inter-individual variability of the warfarIn response, these genetic markers may serve as clinically relevant predictors of warfar In future studies.
Novel mutations in the VKORC1 gene of wild rats and mice – a response to 50 years of selection pressure by warfarin?

The results corroborate the VKORC1 gene as the main target for spontaneous mutations conferring warfarin resistance and confirm the mechanism(s) of how mutations in the VKORN1 gene mediate insensitivity to coumarins in vivo has still to be elucidated.

Empicizumab prophylaxis administered subcutaneously once weekly or every 2 weeks led to a significantly lower bleeding rate than no proPHylaxis among persons with hemophilia A without inhibitors; more than half of the participants who received prophYLaxis had no treated bleeding events.
Kinase domain mutations of BCR-ABL frequently precede imatinib-based therapy and give rise to relapse in patients with de novo Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).

BCR-ABL mutations conferring high-level imatinib resistance are present in a substantial proportion of patients with de novo Ph(+) ALL and eventually give rise to relapse, providing a rationale for the frontline use of kinase inhibitors active against these BCR- ABL mutants.
Intensity of factor VIII treatment and inhibitor development in children with severe hemophilia A: the RODIN study.

It is suggested that in previously untreated patients with severe hemophilia A, high-dosed intensive FVIII treatment increases inhibitor risk and prophylactic FV III treatment decreases inhibitor risk, especially in patients with low-risk F8 mutations.

The primary outcome was inhibitor development and the secondary outcome was high-titer-inhibitor development, and the relative risks for developing high titer inhibitors were similar.
