Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is highly heritable (estimated heritability [h(2)]=0.62) and likely to be a result of multigenic action. OBJECTIVE: To systematically test variation within genes encoding for important components of the anticoagulant, procoagulant, fibrinolytic and innate immunity pathways for an independent association with VTE. METHODS: Non-Hispanic adults of European ancestry with...
