Sex-linked Lung Estrobolome May Contribute to Pulmonary Hypertension Penetrance of <i>Bmpr2 R899X</i> Mutation via an ET-1 <sup>high</sup> Endoregulatory Macrophage Phenotype
2026-06-10
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) are a major genetic driver of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), yet their penetrance is strikingly sex-biased: females are disproportionately affected, while males experience poorer outcomes. While hormonal and chromosomal factors have been implicated, the biological basis for this disparity remains not fully understood. Here, we investigated the...
