The calibration measure revealed a margin of error lower than 10% in 70% of the population. In terms of discrimination, AUC was 0.82 (95% confidence interval 0.82-0.83). Results of sensitivity analyses substantially confirmed these findings. CONCLUSION  The present score demonstrated a very good accuracy in predicting the risk of VTE in primary care. This score may be therefore implemented in clinical practice so aiding GPs in making decision on patients potentially at risk of VTE. Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.The release of calcium ions (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and related store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) regulate maturation of normal megakaryocytes. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR) provides an additional mechanism for Ca2+ influx in megakaryocytic cells, but its role remains unclear. We created a model of NMDAR hypofunction in Meg-01 cells using CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockout of the GRIN1 gene, which encodes an obligate, GluN1 subunit of the NMDAR. We found that compared with unmodified Meg-01 cells, Meg-01-GRIN1 -/- cells underwent atypical differentiation biased toward erythropoiesis, associated with increased basal ER stress and cell death. Resting cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels were higher in Meg-01-GRIN1 -/- cells, but ER Ca2+ release and SOCE were lower after activation. Lysosome-related organelles accumulated including immature dense granules that may have contributed an alternative source of intracellular Ca2+. Microarray analysis revealed that Meg-01-GRIN1 -/- cells had deregulated expression of transcripts involved in Ca2+ metabolism, together with a shift in the pattern of hematopoietic transcription factors toward erythropoiesis. In keeping with the observed pro-cell death phenotype induced by GRIN1 deletion, memantine (NMDAR inhibitor) increased cytotoxic effects of
