[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe the case of an 83-year-old man with a family history of pulmonary hypertension (PH) who presented with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and later tested positive for a novel bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) gene mutation. To our knowledge, this may be the oldest reported patient with PAH in whom a BMPR2 mutation was initially identified.Beiträge zur Klinik der Tuberkulose 05/2010; 188(4):349-52. · 1.90 Impact Factor
