- Abstract
The article presents a nationwide family study in Sweden which aims to estimate the degree of familial overlap for the different symptoms of venous thromboembolism. The study uses pair-wise analyses to examine discordant and concordant familial risks for pulmonary embolism (PE), venous thrombosis of the lower limbs (VT), and other forms of VTE (OVTE). Results show the observation of genetic susceptibility and shared familial aggregation of VTE among Swedish families.
