Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of rare sequence variation underlying heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Stefan Gräf, +68 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed whole-genome sequencing in 1038 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) index cases and 6385 PAH-negative control subjects to identify the missing heritability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic determinants of risk in pulmonary arterial hypertension: international genome-wide association studies and meta-analysis

Christopher J. Rhodes, +117 more
TL;DR: Functional and epigenomic data indicate that the risk variants near SOX17 alter gene regulation via an enhancer active in endothelial cells that determined Pulmonary arterial hypertension risk variants determined haplotype-specific enhancer activity, and CRISPR-mediated inhibition of the enhancer reduced SoX17 expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic Characterization of EIF2AK4 Mutation Carriers in a Large Cohort of Patients Diagnosed Clinically With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

TL;DR: Biallelic EIF2AK4 mutations are found in patients classified clinically as having idiopathic and heritable PAH, and can be identified reliably by computed tomography, but a low KCO and a young age at diagnosis suggests the underlying molecular diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of GDF2 Mutations and Levels of BMP9 and BMP10 in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

Joshua Hodgson, +72 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GDF2 mutations result in BMP9 loss-of-function and are likely causal, which supports therapeutic strategies to enhance BMP 9 or BMP10 signalling in PAH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss-of-Function ABCC8 Mutations in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

TL;DR: Novel and rare missense variants in ABCC8 are associated with PAH and mutations decreased ATP-sensitive potassium channel function, which was pharmacologically recovered.
