Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We evaluated 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in three European case-control studies as risk factors for venous thrombosis. OBJECTIVES: We sought to replicate the positive findings from this report among Whites and to evaluate the association of these SNPs with venous thrombosis for the first time among Blacks. PATIENT/METHODS: These SNPs were evaluated in a case-control study of...
