Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor-β superfamily signaling pathway is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). However, the association between bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) gene mutations and PAVM remains unclear. We present a case of concurrent PAVM and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), with a deletion mutation in exon 6 and exon 7 of the...
