[Using DNA samples collected at baseline in a prospective cohort of 14,916 initially healthy American men, we examined the possible association of P2RY12 genetic variants, in particular a haplotype H2 (constituted by dbSNP rs10935838, rs2046934, rs5853517, and rs6809699) amongst 708 white males who subsequently developed a thromboembolic event (incident myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, or deep venous thromboembolism/pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE)) and amongst an equal number of age- and smoking-matched white males who remained free of reported vascular disease during follow-up (controls).].
