Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The mutations of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension has been well defined. We investigated the occurrence of BMPR2 mutation and genetic polymorphisms in children with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (aPH/CHD) and correlated with the pulmonary haemodynamic and vasoreactivity. METHODS: BMPR2...
