Abstract excerpt
High plasma levels of factor VIII (FVIII) and von Willebrand factor (VWF) have been indicated as independent risk factors for venous thromboembolism. However, the genetic factors responsible for their increase remain poorly known. In a large Italian family with high FVIII/VWF levels and thrombotic episodes, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on 12 family members to identify variants/genes involved in...
