@Janetbirdope @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum This study is a follow-on to an existing body of evidence re: vitamin K-dependent proteins ("Gla" proteins) in #OA, as well as warfarin VK antagonist effects, and agnostic discovery in a GWAS. The findings hold including in studies unrelated to access to care and a small RCT.
