Abstract:A wealth of evidence from human genetics, developmental and cell biology, and translational science has implicated members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β ) signaling family in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The discovery of loss-offunction germline mutations in BMPR2 and in functionally related BMP/TGF-β signal transduction molecules as causes of heritable PAH and several overlapping congenital vascular syndromes has catalyzed work to… Show more
