We have used the gene-centric Illumina HumanCVD BeadChip to identify common genetic determinants of Von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels in healthy men and women.The Whitehall II (WHII) study (n = 5592) and the British Women's Heart and Health Study (BWHHS) (n = 3445) were genotyped using the HumanCVD BeadChip. Replication was conducted in the British Regional Heart Study (n = 3897) and 1958 Birth Cohort (n = 5048).We identified 48 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four genes/regions associated with vWF at P
