In vitro thrombin generation, which reflects an individual's plasma coagulation potential and has been shown to correlate with the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), might represent a useful intermediate phenotype for the genetic dissection of VTE. As a proof of principle, we have investigated whether the thrombin generation assay can detect changes in the haemostatic balance associated with common genetic...
