Background
The impact of the combination of obesity and multiple prothrombotic genotypes on venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk remains unclear.
Objective
To investigate the joint effect of obesity and a genetic risk score (GRS) composed of established prothrombotic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on VTE risk using a population-based case–cohort.
Methods
Cases with incident VTE (
n
= 1,470) and a subcohort (
n
= 12,826) were derived from the Tromsø Study (1994–2012) and the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) (1995–2008). Participants were genotyped for
ABO
(rs8176719),
F5
(rs6025),
F2
(rs1799963),
FGG
(rs2066865), and
F11
(rs2036914) SNPs. Age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated according to body mass index (BMI) categories and number of risk alleles for individual SNPs and the GRS (0–1, 2, 3, ≥4 alleles).
Results
The combination of obesity (BMI ≥ 30kg/m
2
) and risk alleles, either as individual SNPs or as a GRS, had an additive effect on VTE risk (i.e., no biological interaction). Obese subjects who were carriers of ≥4 risk alleles had a 2.85-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.05–3.96) increased risk of overall VTE compared with those with BMI |
