METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE RISK OF DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS AND PULMONARY EMBOLISM ASSOCIATED WITH HORMONAL PREPARATIONS AND HORMONE LEVELS

摘要

Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human genome, and their association with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and related pathologies, such as pulmonary embolism (PE), in relation with hormonal preparations (i.e. combined contraceptives, hormone replacement therapeutics) and hormone levels (i.e. during pregnancy and post-partum).
