Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is associated with risk of thrombosis and coagulation disorders. We conducted a genome-wide association study for aPTT and identified significant associations with SNPs in three coagulation cascade genes, F12 (rs2731672, combined p = 2.16 × 10-30), KNG1 (rs710446, combined p = 9.52 × 10-22), and HRG (rs9898, combined p = 1.34 × 10-11). These three SNPs explain ∼18% of phenotypic variance in aPTT in the Lothian Birth Cohorts. © 2010 The American Society of Human Genetics.
