We next investigated if CFHR5 levels were associated with VTE associated risk factors, such as age, body mass index [BMI] and routine clinical laboratory tests for blood markers associated with thrombosis risk (e.g., D-dimer, c-reactive protein [CRP], thrombocyte count) (Table 2 and Supplementary data 1 [Tab_4]). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Venous thrombosis.
