We chose to quantify ANXA3, TNFAIP6, TXK, BACH2, and SERPINB2 mRNA expression in t-PAPS based on the results of a meta-analysis using a bioinformatics panel to explore the differences and similarities between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and cardiovascular disease. The gene discussed is TNFAIP6; the disease is cardiovascular disorder.
