Genomics and proteomics in venous thromboembolism: building a bridge toward a rational personalized medicine framework.

Venous thromboembolism is a major health care problem worldwide and is sustained by a multifactorial pathogenesis where both congenital and acquired causes contribute. It is increasingly being highlighted that a reliable approach based on genomics and proteomics might be effective to construct a rational personalized medicine framework that can be applied in the preclinical, clinical, and therapeutic settings of venous thrombosis. The aim of this review is to provide a concise description of the current and future applications of genomics and proteomics in this challenging pathology.
