Abstract

The use of individual genomic risk factors to predict the onset of common diseases is one of the main promises of personalized medicine. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of how genetic susceptibility shapes clinical practice, by drawing on non-rare thrombophilia (NRT) tests, a common diagnostic technique for congenital predisposition to venous thromboembolism (VTE).
