Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Although many genetic risk factors have been identified, a substantial portion of the heritability remains unexplained. In this study, we employed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for VTE across 9 international cohorts of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative to address this question, along with in vivo functional...
