Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms underlying the reduced penetrance seen in the nonsense-mediated decay-positive (NMD+) BMPR2 mutation-associated hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH) remain unknown. We reasoned that the cellular and genetic mechanisms behind this phenomenon could be uncovered by combining expression profiling with Connectivity Map (cMap) analysis. Cultured lymphocytes from 10 patients with...
