Sažetak
The purpose of this Special issue was to review and highlight the current understanding of the pathophysiology, epidemiology and clinical and molecular characteristics of thrombophilia. In this issue, we present reviews covering the topics of the course: the structure and function of platelets, the pathophysiology, genetic basis, classification and epidemiology of hypercoagulable states and diagnostic algorithms for thrombophilia screening. The course also covered some specific topics such as pediatric thrombosis, deficiency of antithrombin, protein C and S, as well as the association of hyperhomocisteinemia and thrombophilia. This issue also deals with genetic association studies in thrombophilia research and pharmacogenetics guided anticoagulation therapy.
