A Genome‐Wide Association Study for Venous Thromboembolism: The Extended Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium
AssociationN=11,615Weihong Tang et al.(2013)· Genetic Epidemiology

A large genome-wide association study of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in 9 European ancestry cohorts (4,849 cases total) identified genome-wide significant associations at F5, ABO, F11, and FGG loci. The FGG locus (rs6536024, RR=0.80, p<5.0×10⁻¹³) and F11 locus (rs4253399, RR=1.24, p<5.0×10⁻¹³) showed novel associations with reduced and increased VTE risk respectively. Additional borderline associations (p<5.0×10⁻⁶) were identified near SUSD1 and OTUD7A, representing new candidate genes for VTE.

About F5

This gene encodes an essential cofactor of the blood coagulation cascade. This factor circulates in plasma, and is converted to the active form by the release of the activation peptide by thrombin during coagulation. This generates a heavy chain and a light chain which are held together by calcium ions. The activated protein is a cofactor that participates with activated coagulation factor X to activate prothrombin to thrombin. Defects in this gene result in either an autosomal recessive hemorrhagic diathesis or an autosomal dominant form of thrombophilia, which is known as activated protein C resistance.
