The genetic background of complex diseases is proposed to consist of several low-penetrance risk loci. Addressing this complexity likely requires both large sample size and simultaneous analysis of different predisposing variants. We investigated the role of four thrombosis genes: coagulation factor V (F5), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), protein C (PROC), and thrombomodulin (THBD) in cardiovascular diseases. Single allelic gene variants and their pair-wise combinations were analyzed in two independently sampled population cohorts from Finland. From among 14,140 FINRISK participants (FINRISK-92, n = 5,999 and FINRISK-97, n = 8,141), we selected for genotyping a sample of 2,222, including 528 incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) cases and random subcohorts totaling 786. To cover all known common haplotypes (>10%), 54 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped. Classification-tree analysis identified 11 SNPs that were further analyzed in Cox's proportional hazard model as single variants and pair-wise combinations. Multiple testing was controlled by use of two independent cohorts and with false-discovery rate. Several CVD risk variants were identified: In women, the combination of F5 rs7542281 × THBD rs1042580, together with three single F5 SNPs, was associated with CVD events. Among men, PROC rs1041296, when combined with either ICAM1 rs5030341 or F5 rs2269648, was associated with total mortality. As a single variant, PROC rs1401296, together with the F5 Leiden mutation, was associated with ischemic stroke events. Our strategy to combine the classification-tree analysis with more traditional genetic models was successful in identifying SNPs—acting either in combination or as single variants—predisposing to CVD, and produced consistent results in two independent cohorts. These results suggest that variants in these four thrombosis genes contribute to arterial cardiovascular events at population level. The genetic background of cardiovascular diseases is still largely unknown. As in other complex diseases, the genetic risk is thought to consist of several genetic variants and their possible interactions. Elucidation of the genetic component of any complex trait most likely requires simultaneous examination of various genes in large and well-characterized study samples. Our study explores the role in cardiovascular disease of four thrombosis genes: coagulation factor V, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, protein C, and thrombomodulin. These genes form a physiological pathway that is part of the coagulation cascade. Their defects, such as the Leiden mutation in factor V gene, predispose to venous thrombosis, making them tempting candidates for involvement with cardiovascular events. Given the interactions of these genes at the molecular level, a logical way to explore their genetic effects is simultanous rather than gene-specific analysis of all the four genes, aiming to illustrate their possible interplay. The study setting combines classification trees with classic genetic analyses and covers all known common variants of the genes. The results imply that the variants in these four genes contribute to disease risk either alone or in various allelic combinations.
