Predicting venous thrombosis in women using a combination of genetic markers and clinical risk factors

Background Family history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been suggested to be more useful in risk assessment than thrombophilia testing. Objectives We investigated established genetic susceptibility variants for association with VTE and evaluated a genetic risk score in isolation and combined with known trigger factors, including family history of VTE. Patients/Method A total of 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the...
