Whole Exome Sequencing Reveals Severe Thrombophilia in Acute Unprovoked Idiopathic Fatal Pulmonary Embolism

Background: Acute unprovoked idiopathic fatal pulmonary embolism (IFPE) causes sudden death without an identifiable thrombogenic risk. We aimed to investigate the underlying genomic risks of IFPE through whole exome sequencing (WES). Methods: We reviewed 14 years of consecutive out-of-hospital fatal...
