Association of genetic variations with nonfatal venous thrombosis in postmenopausal women
Article Abstract:
Population-based case-control study is used to describe the association of common genetic variation in 24 coagulation, anticoagulation, fibrinolysis and antifibrinolysis candidate genes with risk of incident nonfatal venous thrombosis (VT) in postmenopausal women. The replication of the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with VT risk in other populations is required for corroborating which genetic factors might influence VT risk in postmenopausal and perimenopausal women.

Thrombophilia, clinical factors, and recurrent venous thrombotic events
Article Abstract:
The recurrence rate of thrombotic events in patients after a first thrombotic event and its determinants, including thrombophilic abnormalities is estimated. The studies suggest that prothrombotic abnormalities do not play an important role in the risk of a recurrent thrombotic event.

Gene variants associated with deep vein thrombosis
Article Abstract:
A study to ascertain whether gene variation could be associated as a cause of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was conducted. Results showed that certain genetic variation was associated with DVT.
