Mate-pair sequencing identifies a cryptic BMPR2 mutation in hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension
Current guidelines suggest screening all patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension for genetic aberrations, particularly mutations in Bone Morphogenic Protein Receptor Type II (BMPR2), the gene most commonly implicated in the pathogenesis of PAH. Herein, we present a novel technique u...

Sumario: | Current guidelines suggest screening all patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension for genetic aberrations, particularly mutations in Bone Morphogenic Protein Receptor Type II (BMPR2), the gene most commonly implicated in the pathogenesis of PAH. Herein, we present a novel technique used to identify a pathogenic germline BMPR2 alteration in a 36-year-old female and family members with hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension who each screened negative by standard cytogenetics and molecular genetics testing. |
