Abstract

Summary of the research findings

UK Biobank is the world's largest repository for phenotypic and genotypic information for individuals of European ancestry. Here, we leverage UK Biobank to understand the inherited basis for venous thromboembolism (VTE), a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality.

3,290 European ancestry cases, 116,868 European ancestry controls
