Whole exome sequencing in thrombophilic pedigrees to identify genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism

Family studies have shown a strong heritability component for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but established genetic risk factors are present in only half of VTE patients. To identify genetic risk factors in two large families with unexplained hereditary VTE. We performed whole exome sequencing in 10...
