Table 9.

Vitamin K treatment in VKCFD1 patients with GGCX mutations. This table gives an overview of all patients who received vitamin K treatment for their coagulation factor deficiency and the response to treatment. For each patient, an overview of the PT, aPTT, coagulation factor function (percent of normal activity or in U/dL or U/mL) prior to therapy is given (in italics) and extrahepatic (non-hemostatic) before treatment parameters are shown (in italics), if determined. Further, the clinical response to treatment is mentioned. For P21, P27, P28, and P29, the response to treatment for the ucOC/cOC ratio is given, but the specific vitamin K dose at the time of blood sampling is not mentioned in the original article. Reference values are stated between brackets if they were mentioned in the original article.
