Abstract excerpt
Resistance to activated protein C (APC) is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism also in absence of the FV Leiden mutation. To evaluate the influence of genetic factors on APC resistance, we evaluated the heritability of the APC resistance phenotype in 1,519 sib-parent pairs randomly selected from the VITA Project. After adjustment for known influencing factors, a high heritability coefficient (0.58) was...
