A large‐scale exome array analysis of venous thromboembolism

Although recent Genome‐Wide Association Studies have identified novel associations for common variants, there has been no comprehensive exome‐wide search for low‐frequency variants that affect the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We conducted a meta‐analysis of 11 studies comprising 8,332 cases and 16,087 controls of European ancestry and 382 cases and 1,476 controls of African American ancestry genotyped with the Illumina HumanExome...
