Abstract excerpt
A variety of mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) have been identified in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. In this study, using our BMPR2 mutation database and BMPR-II protein sequences from eight distantly related species, we defined the relationship among evolutionary conservation, mutation frequency and mutation distribution. As a whole, BMPR2 is evolving slower...
