Ethnic communities and venous thrombosis

In populations of European origin, the epidemiology and risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) are well characterised but such data are scanty for other ethnic groups. Traditionally, venous thrombosis has been recognised as a condition confined to the populations of Europe, this has been strengthened by the lack of diagnostic services in developing countries and the low incidence of known hereditary prothrombotic mutations in non-Europeans.
