Identifying individuals at extreme risk of venous thromboembolism using polygenic risk scores

Abstract

Current risk assessment and treatment strategies for venous thromboembolism (VTE) consider genetic factors only in a limited way. New work shows a more pervasive role of common variants in VTE risk, inspiring genetic predictors that surpass and complement individual clinical risk factors and monogenic thrombophilia testing.
