Molecular and functional characterization of the BMPR2 gene in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive disease that causes the obstruction of precapillary pulmonary arteries and a sustained increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. The aim was to analyze functionally the variants found in the BMPR2 gene and to establish a genotype-phenotype c...
