Key result
Thrombophilic defects can be stratified into high- and low-risk categories for initial and recurrent venous thrombosis, revealing that some defects are not independent risk factors.

This editorial highlights new data stratifying thrombophilic defects into high- and low-risk categories for venous thrombosis.
In this issue of Blood, Lijfering and colleagues provide data on the absolute risk for both initial and recurrent venous thromboses in persons with thrombophilia. Based on these data, they subgroup thrombophilic defects into high- and low-risk disorders. They also conclude that some defects are not independent risk factors.
