Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare, progressive, and oft-fatal condition of pulmonary arterial hypertension that is typically difficult to diagnose and treat. However, with the development of next-generation sequencing technology, an increasing number of patients with PVOD are being diagnosed. METHODS: Initially, we used whole exome sequencing (WES) to identify the proband as a rare...
