Description : Thrombophilia is a multifactorial disorder of inappropriate clot formation resulting
from an interaction of genetic, acquired, and circumstantial predisposing factors.
Venous thromboembolism most commonly manifests as deep vein thrombosis, which may
progress to pulmonary embolism if the clot dislodges and travels to the lung. Other
manifestations include thromboses of the cerebral or visceral veins and recurrent
pregnancy loss (summary by Seligsohn and Lubetsky, 2001 and Varga and Kujovich, 2012).
