1 Selective testing for thrombophilia in patients with first venous thrombosis: results from a retrospective family cohort study on absolute thrombotic risk for currently known thrombophilic defects in 2479 relatives by Willem M. Lijfering, Jan-Leendert P. Brouwer, Nic J. G. M. Veeger, Ivan Bank, Michiel Coppens, Saskia Middeldorp, Karly Hamulyák, Martin H. Prins, Harry R. Büller, and Jan van der Meer Blood Volume 113(21): May 21, 2009 ©2009 by American Society of Hematology

2 Flow diagram of the family cohort
Flow diagram of the family cohort. * indicates probands were classified according to their index defect. Flow diagram of the family cohort. * indicates probands were classified according to their index defect. In case of multiple defects, the index defect was chosen in the following order: antithrombin deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, FV Leiden, prothrombin 20210G>A, high factor VIII levels, and hyperhomocysteinemia.
