Role of <i>BMPR2</i> Alternative Splicing in Heritable Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Penetrance
25 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) gene mutations are the most common cause of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, only 20% of mutation carriers get clinical disease. Here, we explored the hypothesis that this reduced penetrance is due in part to an alteration in BMPR2 alternative splicing. METHODS AND RESULTS: Our data showed that BMPR2 has multiple alternative spliced...
