1 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
ulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by a strong genetic component. About 30% of patients with idiopathic or heritable PAH are considered to have monogenic disorders: most of these patients have heterozygous BMPR2 mutations. The causative genes, if any, in the remaining 70% of patients have yet to be clarified. In some rare diseases, relatively common pathogenic variants, together with monogenic...
