Familial pulmonary arterial hypertension by KDR heterozygous loss of function.

Abstract excerpt

Beyond the major gene BMPR2, several new genes predisposing to PAH have been identified during the last decade. Recently, preliminary evidence of the involvement of the KDR gene was found in a large genetic association study.We prospectively analysed the KDR gene by targeted panel sequencing in a series of 311 PAH patients referred to a clinical molecular laboratory for genetic diagnosis of PAH.Two index cases...
