Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease with significant genetic predisposition. While genetic architecture and clinical implications in pediatric PAH remain unclear. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and genetic data from 218 pediatric PAH patients including 115 idiopathic/heritable PAH (IPAH/HPAH) and 103 PAH associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) admitted...
