• Of note, when an individual has venous reflux disease, the likelihood of his/her identical twin to have venous reflux disease exceeds 75%.
• The likelihood of a male to have a relative with a varicose vein is approximately 20%. The likelihood for a female patient to have a relative with vericose veins is 45%.
