Abstract excerpt
Emerging data from studies of pediatric-onset pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) indicate that the genomics of pediatric PAH is different than that of adults. There is a greater genetic burden in children, with rare genetic factors contributing to at least 35% of pediatric-onset idiopathic PAH (IPAH) compared with ~11% of adult-onset IPAH. De novo variants are the most frequent genetic cause of PAH in...
