Incidence of VTE in children has increased significantly over the past twenty years. Published data however suggest that inhereted prothrombotic risk factors play a less significant role in paediatric venous thromboembolism than originally presumed. Inherited risk factors alone are deemed to be responsible for less than 15 % of VTE in children. Author critically reviews international as well as Czech national recommendations on the indication of inherited prothrombotic risk factors assesment in children.
