Popis: STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDY:Our results represent the first comparison of venous and arterial thrombosis at the transcriptomic level.Our main result was the demonstration that immunothrombosis pathways are important to the pathophysiology of these conditions, also at the transcriptomic level.A specific signature for venous and arterial thrombosis was described, and validated in independent cohorts.The limited number of public repositories with gene expression data from patients with venous thromboembolism limits the representation of these patients in our analyses.In order to gather a meaningful number of studies with gene expression data we had to include patients in different time-points since the index thrombotic event, which might have increased the heterogeneity of our population.
