”Molecular insights into the comorbidity of vitamin K–dependent clotting factor deficiency and chondrodysplasia punctata

• Mutations in gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) disrupt the vitamin K cycle, causing combined bleeding diathesis and skeletal calcification defects, yet responses to vitamin K therapy vary.
• In a patient with two novel compound heterozygous GGCX mutations (H587R and P596fs), researchers used bioluminescent assays, split-nanoluciferase complementation, and structural modeling to dissect differential effects on hepatic and extrahepatic vitamin K–dependent proteins (VKDPs).
• The P596fs variant abolished enzyme activity, while H587R selectively impaired extrahepatic VKDPs(e.g., matrix Gla protein), explaining why coagulation improved but skeletal abnormalities persisted. This highlights how mutation-specific GGCX dysfunction shapes phenotype and therapeutic response.”
