Abstract (EN): Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cardiovascular disease, for which several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) underlying susceptibility were identified. Apart from candidate gene approach, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed to the identification of novel VTE-associated SNPs, including some with no clear role in the haemostatic system. These genetic variants constitute potential cancer-related biomarkers, particularly predictive and prognostic biomarkers, as a two-way association between VTE and cancer is well established. The present dataset comprises the data obtained from GWAS performed to identify genetic variants associated with VTE risk. Furthermore, this dataset also comprises data regarding previously reported candidate gene and validation reports performed in adults of European ancestry that also analysed the VTE GWASi-dentified variants. Lastly, to evaluate the impact of these genetic variants in carcinogenesis, a broad search was made, which has let us to establish putative links between several VTE-associated genes and cancer hallmarks in a review article entitled "Venous thromboembolism GWAS reported genetic makeup and the hallmarks of cancer: linkage to ovarian tumour behaviour".
