Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A high mean platelet volume (MPV), a marker of increased platelet reactivity, is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether established prothrombotic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) further increase the VTE risk in subjects with high MPV because of biological interaction remains unknown. AIM: To investigate the joint effect of high MPV and prothrombotic genotypes, comprising a...
