Novel risk genes and mechanisms implicated by exome sequencing of 2,572 individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension
2019-02-14
Abstract excerpt
Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease with high mortality despite recent therapeutic advances. Pathogenic remodeling of pulmonary arterioles leads to increased pulmonary pressures, right ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. Mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 and other risk genes predispose to disease, but the vast majority of non-familial cases remain geneticall...
