Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cardiovascular disease thought to be the outcome of an intricate interplay between acquired and inherited factors that act together to modify disease risk. Over the years, several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes have been associated with disease risk, including F5 rs6025, F2 rs1799963, EGG rs2066865, ABO genetic variants, among others less common. More recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed to the identification of novel VTE-associated SNPs, some of them located in novel genes with no clear role in the haemostatic system, such as SLC44A2 rs2288904 and TSPAN15 rs78707713. Given the existence of a tight relationship between VTE and cancer, with both pathologies sharing biological pathways that allow one to promote the other, these SNPs constitute potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers currently needed for better management of cancer patients. Among solid tumours, ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most frequently associated with VTE. Indeed, haemostatic components might have a significant impact in OC progression, and therefore, the clinical and biological implications of VTE-associated SNPs should be assessed in patients with this neoplasia.
