Methods for predicting an individual~s genetic risk for developing venous thrombosis in diverse ethnic populations is disclosed, as are arrays and kit s which can be used to practice the method. The method includes screening for mutations, polymorphisms, or both, in at least eight venous thrombosis-relat ed molecules, such as antithrombin III, protein C, protein S, fibrinogen, facto r V, prothrombin (factor II), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) molecules which are associated with venous thrombosis.
