disease. Although current practice in major centers is to perform exercise tests, there is still …

We estimate and partition genetic variation for height, body mass index (BMI), von
Willebrand factor and QT interval (QTi) using 586,898 SNPs genotyped on 11,586 unrelated …

Modern thrombophilia testing fails to identify any underlying prothrombotic tendency in a
significant number of patients presenting with objectively confirmed venous …

For many years, an association between ABO histo‐blood group and risk of thrombosis has
been recognized. Blood group non‐O (A, B, and AB) individuals have consistently been …

Background—ABO blood groups have been shown to be associated with increased risks of
venous thromboembolic and arterial disease. However, the reported magnitude of this …

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex disease that has a major genetic component
of risk. To identify genetic factors that may modify the risk of VTE, we conducted a genome …

ABO blood groups greatly influence circulating von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels, and O
group subjects have lower VWF values. In this study, we investigated whether ABO groups …

Background Whole blood (WB) has been used in combat since World War I as it is readily
available and replaces every element of shed blood. Component therapy has become …

Although a number of studies have demonstrated the influence of ABO blood group on
plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF), the nature of this association and its clinical …
