Sensitized mutagenesis screen in Factor V Leiden mice identifies thrombosis suppressor loci
21 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Significance Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease characterized by the formation of inappropriate blood clots. Inheritance of specific genetic variants, such as the Factor V Leiden polymorphism, increases VTE susceptibility. However, only ∼10% of people inheriting Factor V Leiden develop VTE, suggesting the involvement of other genes that are currently unknown. By inducing random genetic mutations...
