This review is devoted to the management of primary artery thrombosis (PAT). This disease was always considered only as a part of other venous thromboembolic events, in particular isolated pulmonary embolism (PE). Various studies show that PAT can develop as an independent event without concomitant damage to extra-vessels.

FHOD3 has emerged as a novel disease-causing gene for this phenotype, but the relevance and clinical implication of copy-number variations (CNVs) have not been determined. In this study, CNVs were evaluated using a comparative depth-of-coverage strategy by next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 5493 HCM probands and 2973 disease-controls.
