Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease where known genetic risk factors explain only a small portion of the genetic variance. Then, the analysis of intermediate phenotypes, such as thrombin generation assay, can be used to identify novel genetic risk factors that contribute to VTE. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the genetic basis of distinct quantitative phenotypes of thrombin generation and its...
