Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) gene and the activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1) gene have been reported in heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH) and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). However, the relation between clinical characteristics and each gene mutation in IPAH and HPAH is still unclear, especially in childhood. The aim of this study was to...
