Gene Expression Profiling in Venous Thromboembolism: Insights from Publicly Available Datasets

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease and is a major cause of mobility and mortality worldwide. VTE is a complex multifactorial disease and genetic mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis is yet to be completely elucidated. The aim of the present study was to identify hub genes and pathways involved in development and progression of blood clot during VTE using gene expression data from public repositories.
